Persuasive Essay (Due Week Four)

·         You will support your position by conducting research, evaluating evidence, and presenting it in a well-organized essay.

·         This assignment is based on research. It is not simply a preference or an expression of your opinion.

·         The goal is to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view by using reliable sources, statistics and facts, logic, examples, and expert opinions.

·         The essay should address an opposing view, and respectfully state why your position is stronger.

·         The final essay should include a thesis statement, clear position on chosen topic, acknowledgement of the opposing view, clear purpose and direction, and effective conclusion.

·         Revised essay should be error free and consistent in tone, point of view and verb tense.

·         Three reliable sources are required to support your position.

·         Reliable sources include Keiser Library, Google scholar, and others approved by your instructor.
