ENGL 1101, Spring 2020

Essay 3: Researched Argument

The goal of this essay is to develop and put into practice the necessary skills to craft an argumentative essay, in order to make a point and hopefully convince your audience that you are correct. In order to accomplish this, you’ll be proposing some improvement on a small, local scale that you think would make life better. This could be something in your hometown, something in your neighborhood, something at ATC, etc. Examples for topics that I have seen in the past include, ways to improve MARTA, ways to help the homeless population, ways to reduce student loan debt, etc. For this paper, you should have at least 4 sources that help back up your arguments. Through your research, you should explain the problem, identify a solution that you think could be realistically put into practice, and convince your audience that this is a solution they should support. This may mean explaining why it is better than other possible solutions or things that have been tried in the past.

The Assignment: The culmination of this project will be a thoughtful, researched, 3-6 page paper, including proper attribution of all information from your sources and a Works Cited page. Your goal should be to research a way to improve some aspect of life on a local scale and present that in a convincing way. Because this assignment is so open-ended (which can be a bit daunting), it’s important that you choose an issue that is legitimately interesting or important to you, but that also is researchable and arguable.
