MLA heading and centered title for essay 12 Point font Assignment: Choose one of the topics on this assignment sheet and write an essay in which you argue one of the two choices as the better option. Note that you must choose something from this list; the topic must be approved by the instructor ahead of time or your essay will not be accepted and your grade will be recorded as a zero. Make sure to begin with two things that are alike; then, contrast them by establishing the superiority of one. This paper is to be persuasive: you must convince the readers that your opinion is reasonable and credible. Your paper will have the following elements: Introduction (one paragraph, 100-200 words): A “hook” that captures the reader’s attention: create a compelling scenario, and/or bring in personal experience to introduce the subject matter. Transition to the two possible choices, A or B. A clear thesis statement where you make an assertion as to which choice is the better one. A plan of development, where you give your two reasons why “A” is a superior choice to “B”, based on specific criteria. Two Body Paragraphs (200-350 words each): Two body paragraphs in this paper, each offering a reason why A is a better choice than B. A point-by-point organizational plan. Both sides “A” and “B” will be discussed in each body paragraph with respect to the criterion established (half about side A, half about Side B). Clear topic sentences that are assertions of what you are proving in the paragraph. Vivid examples and illustrations to support the point you’re making. Such examples can be: Hypothetical situations Personal Experience Factual evidence/numerical data (such as price) Relevant concrete detail and sensory imagery related to your topic Clear transitions from throughout the essay: from paragraph to paragraph, from point to example, from side to side. Use transitional phrases such as “by contrast” or “on the other hand” to turn from Side A to Side B. Use transitional phrases such as “for example” or “for instance” to signal a turn to an illustration. Credibility as a writer. You want to come across as reasonable, intelligent, and trustworthy. After reading your paper, one should feel like your perspective is the only reasonable way to view the issue you’ve presented. Required Outside Source: This paper will also incorporate one direct quotation from a verifiable internet source (print, not video) on the subject matter. A maximum of two quotations from outside sources are allowed. The source must have a named author or a speaker or you cannot use it. The source must either praise Side A or critique Side B. The sources must convey the ideas/opinions of the writer/speaker, not merely state facts. The quotation(s) will be worth 10 % of the overall grade of the paper. The quotation cannot come in the introduction. A bonus point is awarded if the entire quotation is boldfaced for easy recognition. The quotation must clearly identify the speaker of the quote or writer of the article and must be a minimum of one sentence, a maximum of three. The source for the quote must also be identified, either in the sentence or following the sentence in parentheses (name of article, name of website, or both). Quotation marks must be used around the direct quote, and the quotation must be smoothly and grammatically integrated into the structure of the writer’s own sentence. Once again, you are looking for an opinionated statement from the source, one that will support your argument about the merits Side A or the critique of Side B. No Works Cited is needed for this paper. See the plagiarism policy on the syllabus**. The paper is primarily your own argument, your own examples that you create, etc. You can only use websites to acquire your direct quotations. If you lift phrases from websites and do not put those phrases in quotation marks, it is plagiarism. A Conclusion (One Paragraph, 100-200 words): Re-state the thesis (in other terminology) Bring the essay to a close: what is it that you want the reader to do or remember? Possible Topics: Note: Choose a topic based on your own personal experience. Do not choose to write on a subject you know little about. Watching a movie at home vs. in a theatre (experience as a whole) Or drive-in vs. home/theatre Or home vs. drive-in A particular character from a movie vs. another character from a similar movie/tv show Example: Darth Vader vs. Darth Maul as Star Wars villains A particular movie vs. its prequel/sequel Example: Terminator 1 vs. Terminator 2 Two current sports teams Orioles vs Yankees: Which AL Team Should Go to the World Series? A book vs. its movie version Example: The Great Gatsby Small dog vs. cat as indoor pet Two similar restaurants (specific establishments in the town/city) Example: Lisa’s Barbeque vs. Sam’s Smokehouse (Fayette, Alabama) Two similar musicians/bands Example: Megan Thee Stallion vs. Cardi B Two similar video games Example: FIFA 23 vs Football Manager 2023 Two contestants on the same reality show Example: Colin Stough vs Iam Tongi Two similar small stores that sell the same products Example: Sassy Lass vs Sweet Annie Boutique (Fayette, Alabama) Two similar products that cost under 20 $ each Example: Bounty vs. Brawny Paper Towels Once you have chosen a topic, submit to the instructor for approval through the appropriate link.
