Pick an article you want to talk about it.
Pick an article from CQ research and disagree and somewhat agree on it, and do some quotation.
You must gather your sources first at CQ Researcher. You must build your argument in response to any CQ Researcher report from September 2021 to September 2022. Any links in your chosen report should be consulted and may be used as separate sources to use in your argument essay.
If the sources you locate do not provide enough information for you to form a thesis and a clear idea of an antithesis (the other side in the argument), you should then move on to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. (Both of these databases can be accessed through the Wake Tech libraries website.) Any research past this point must be approved by me.
Your essay should describe two adversarial positions related to a subject brought up in your chosen report. (You may use the pro/con sides presented within your CQ report.)
When the 14 October essay is returned to you, you will begin extensive revisions, including additional sources (pro and con). You may now find and use sources outside CQ Researcher. The term “extensive revisions” means you must reconsider your thesis in the 14 October essay and incorporate newfound information into the revision. You may change your stance from one point of view to the opposite. (Even if you personally believe the 14 October thesis, you may switch sides now. Or you may keep your original stance if you go deeper into the subject, by narrowing down your thesis.)
