Assignment Instructions

Instructions: Please carefully read the following assignment details in its entirety. There are many components to this particular assignment, and each component is graded. Do Not use your forum draft as your final submission. It is expected that you will revise this draft substantially- not only from the feedback you receive from peers –but also from your own informed and evolving ideas on the structure and purpose of the Toulmin argument.

This essay should be between 900 and 1000 words, excluding the required annotated bibliography.

The Toulmin essay will help you practice what you have learned so far in this course. First, you will choose a topic of interest. Make sure that you choose a topic with two opposing sides. Then, you need to research that topic in order to specify the topics scope, so it can be easily discussed in 1000 word essay. For example, you may be interested in learning more about traffic issues in the United States. However, that topic is too large to cover in a 1000 word essay. After researching peer reviewed articles that discuss US traffic issues in general, you may discover that the metro system in the District of Columbia is underfunded and underutilized. Through your research, you found that you could make a claim that more funds should be made available in order to upgrade the metro system, which would improve traffic issues in the District of Columbia. This would make for a stronger, specific argument.

The following overused topics may not be used in your essay:

gun control,
abortion,
capital punishment,
gay marriage,
gays in the military,
mandatory drug testing,
euthanasia,
childhood obesity,
women in the military,
diets (including the Paleo diet),
workout regimens (including CrossFit),
underage drinking,
dangers of smoking (including e-cigarettes and synthetic marijuana)
salaries for college athletes
and the legalization of marijuana
school uniforms

This essay must include a minimum of five sources. Three should be peer-reviewed sources, preferably from the APUS databases. From the library welcome page, click on Advanced Search at the bottom of the page and then check the \”peer reviewed\” sources box filter.

This video will hopefully clarify the term, \”peer-reviewed\”: http://youtu.be/rOCQZ7QnoN0. You may use eBooks; however, as discussed in your textbook, books generally are not as current as peer-reviewed articles. You may also use primary sources (interviews, statistics, etc); however, these primary sources should be obtained from experts within that field. If you cannot find strong sources for your chosen topic, then change your topic. If you have a question about the validity of a source, please email me, or post your question to the open forum.

Note: Consider your audience as laymen in the field with only general knowledge of your topic.

Make sure to include the following sections in your essay:

an introduction and claim,
background,
body,
and a conclusion.

Within the body of your essay, make sure to include the following in any order:

support for your claim,
opposing or alternate views,
the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents\’ claims,
and your rebuttals of their claims.

After you have written your essay, please make sure to revise the content of your essay. Lastly, be sure to edit your essay by checking grammar, format, and smaller technical details. Please make sure your essay is written in third person.

Respond to it in this way, Why did Preston Brooks beat him so mercilessly?

Topic:
As an epic journey to Hell and back, The Inferno clearly traces its ancestry, in part, to The Aeneid. As an \”autobiographical\” record of a spiritual struggle, it also has equally obvious roots in Augustine\’s Confessions. We come to this book, then, uniquely well-versed in its literary antecedents. Where do you see the influence of The Aeneid in Dante\’s poem? Of Confessions?

Your response should be at least 500 words in length
Use MLA format for any quotations or citations that you use to support your answer

Plagiarism

Three common types of plagiarism you need to be aware of as a student:

Recycling a paper; double-dipping; self-plagiarism: Reusing a paper you have written for a previous course
Copying directly from a source without proper quotations or paraphrasing: When you try to pass something off as your own work
Not using proper citations
According to the Academic Integrity and Academic Dishonesty Handbook:

Your paper should have at least 80% of your own original thought, not borrowed, paraphrased [or] quoted from material pulled from the Internet, articles, journals, books, etc. Your thoughts, not someone elses!
