For this project, you will return to the problem, issue, or controversy you researched and wrote about for Writing Project 3. Only this time, you will a take a stand on that problem, issue, or controversy, arguing in order to accomplish one or more of the following:

- "to Solve a Problem" by advocating a course of action you think should be taken in response to it (Yagelski 317)
- "to Assert a Position" by supporting a particular view you hold on the issue (317-318)
- "to Inquire" more deeply into the controversy and advocate for a more reasonable solution, resolution, or conclusion to the debate which all parties can agree with (318)
- "to Prevail" by opposing and refuting a set of viewpoints on the issue or controversy that you disagree with (318-319)
In this project, your purpose is to persuade your audience, convincing them to accept your view (or least accept that your view is reasonable) or to take the course of action you are endorsing (or at least recognize it as credible and worthwhile).
Step 1 of CHAPTER 13 will guide you as you continue to refine your opinions on the problem, issue, or controversy you are addressing. Besides CHAPTER 13, you should also consult your Working Outline; Learning Activities in Class Sessions 12, 13, and 14; and the Session 11 & Session 12 Discussion on thesis statements to deepen your thinking and prepare for your first draft.

Examine rhetorical context
For this project, you will select a relevant audience based on the problem, issue, or controversy you are writing about and the stance you are taking on it. Depending on your subject matter and the argument you are making, this may be the same audience you wrote to in WP3; an academic audience, such as your instructor and other members of the class (as discussed in CHAPTER 12); or a public audience outside an academic setting (as discussed in CHAPTER 13). Whatever audience you choose, you should consider the following questions about audience:
- Who has a stake in this issue? Who would care about your position on this issue?
- Who do you think can benefit from hearing your arguments about the issue?
- Who do you think needs to be made aware of the issue and your viewpoint on it?
- Who do you think is impacted by the problem or issue that would like to hear that someone is on their side?
- Who you do you want to persuade or convince of the view or course of action you are advocating?
To develop a rhetorical context for this project, you will write a purpose statement. Use Step 2 in CHAPTER 3, as well as the questions above and the questions in Step 2 of CHAPTER 13, to specifically describe your Audience, Time, Place, and Purpose. What you write for Step 2 will be your purpose statement, which you will submit as part of your first draft, due in Class Session 13. See Assignment Specifics, below, for information on writing your purpose statement.
