“The Final Argument: An Eight to Ten Page Essay on the Issue of [insert topic]”

Your first writing assignment was to submit the outline of an argument. I gave each of you quite a bit of feedback on that assignment.
Your second writing assignment was to take that first writing assignment and turn it into a three to four page essay. Again, I gave you quite a bit of feedback on that assignment.
Your third writing assignment was to evaluate the essay of another student. This was intended to 1) give you practice evaluating an argument and 2) give you even more feedback on your essay because the final goal has always been to take what you have been working on all semester and turn it into an eight to ten page argumentative essay for the final essay. 
Your paper must include: an introduction to the issue and a clear issue statement, an argument that supports your position, rebuttals of arguments that support contrary positions, a final conclusion that also includes suggestions on possible actions one can take on the issue. Be sure to cite your sources and provide a works cited page. Formatting should be double-spaced, 12-point font and one inch margins. Do not put large spaces between paragraphs. Indent paragraphs.
