Overview:
Before you begin this assignment, please note that you are writing a proposal for the Argument Essay and not the Argument Essay Itself. The proposal is designed to give you the opportunity to propose your treatment of the issue related to your career or area of study. The next few assignments are all designed to help you figure out your ultimate argument. These assignments should all focus on the same argument and the same issue related to your career and area of study.
This proposal is your opportunity to consider your plan for tackling the argument. You will need to figure out what about the issue you want to focus your argument on. You cannot possibly cover the whole subject in this coming essay, so plan to write about a specific aspect of that subject.
Your argument will need to be proven throughout the course of your essay. In order to prove your argument, you will need to select specific topics which you will want to highlight in your thesis statement. In this proposal, you will pitch those topics and how you will discuss them.
Instructions:
• Create a two to three-page proposal for your Argument Essay. The Argument Essay requires that you argue your position on an issue affecting your chosen career path or area of study.
• In at least two paragraphs each, please answer the following three questions. Please begin each section of your argument essay proposal with the question your will be answering.
o What is the issue that your essay will be focusing on within your career path or area of study? Why is this issue important and worth writing an argument essay about? Please explain the issue, demonstrating your complete understanding of the issue.
o What is your ultimate argument regarding the issue? What are the specific topics will you address within the argument essay? How do you plan to address those issues?
o What evidence will you use within your essay? Please be specific here with the type of evidence you want to use and how you intend to use. Will all your evidence come from Post's Library? Will you use any additional sources? If so, what kinds of sources?
