Write an argumentative essay of 3 – 4 pages on a topic of your choice.
Your topic can relate to your major, to a hobby, to a form of art you follow, to a political issue you care about – to anything whatsoever, as long as you can turn it into an argument.
A successful paper will have:
• A focused thesis • Coherent, well-defended, and properly-qualified arguments • Well-chosen evidence • A lucid style • Proper grammar, spelling, mechanics, and format (MLA or APA)
Each paper must draw on a minimum of two sources.
