Homework for Tuesday, April 23rd

In a blog post, please provide a counter argument to your position. Doing so will help you see where the other side stands on your topic, which will help you empathize with the opposition and create a stronger argument for your own paper. Your post should include the following:
  1. State the opposite of your thesis.
  2. Make one claim that helps support this new thesis.
  3. Find at least one piece of cited evidence that supports the claim.
  4. Draw the connection between the evidence and the claim through sound reasoning.
  5. List the cited source in the post (don't worry about the formatting).
Make sure the content from numbers 2-4 are written in paragraph form. This post needs to be on your blog by Tuesday, April 23rd. Also, I have uploaded an student example of an argumentative research paper to D2L. Please read this and be prepared to discuss it on Tuesday. The assignment sheet for the rough draft and final paper is also up on D2L. Please review it and let me know if you have any questions.
