This topic/ essay is about student loans, I have uploaded a file of the annotated bibliography that was my last assignment.
There are a few links in there that you have to use for this assignment, and can add one more reliable source. Please stay on the topic and do not add other information, that is not related to the topic.
Sources:
Between 2 – 4 sources must be cited in your paper – they must have also appeared on your Annotated Bibliography. THERE IS A WORK CITIED PAGE WITH THE LINKS
Find one source that was not on your bibliography
Remember to include signal phrases/introductions each time you summarize and directly quote.
Documentation: MLA 9. Use The MLA 9 Handbook linked to on the homepage of our class for assistance. You will be citing both inside and at the end of your essay. Remember to review your graded Annotated Bib to make any Works Cited corrections you need to.
The Assignment:
Most of us enjoy having discussions with others about subjects we find interesting, such as sports, politics, or music. We like both listening to another’s viewpoints and sharing our own. However, sometimes we leave these discussions feeling frustrated by our inability to convince the other person that our views are “right.” Sometimes we wish we had been quick enough to think of a better response. Sometimes we simply don’t have enough reliable information to argue the topic/issue intelligently.
In a written argument, we have the luxury of time when creating our argument. We are able to think through the topic thoroughly, do any necessary research, imagine the opposing arguments(s), and present sound, logical evidence to support our ideas.
Yourpaper will present not only your argument and the research which supports it, but will also reveal your reasoning (why you have this opinion and why you think the topic is important for everyone to know about) as well as acknowledging and refuting the opposition. Your thesis (main point, claim) is driven by your opinion and can be held until the end. Expressing why you feel the topic is important to explore should be stated from the beginning. Use MLA style to cite ALL your sources – even those you paraphrase or “reword.” Always give credit to those people who spent time thinking about your topic before you did.
Writing Ideas:
Your thesis (main point, claim) should contain your overall position on the topic, and can be stated in the beginning or the end of the essay.
Research is included only when it connects to your reasoning. Show us that your ideas are supported by studies, experts in the field, or statistics.
The credibility of your research is made clear in the essay itself through signal phrases/statements.
You have been careful to structure your writing clearly and you’ve proofread to avoid misspellings, unclear sentences, and mechanical errors.
Pathos: At least one point in your essay, you attempt to stir the emotion of your reader and get them to pay attention. Consider what type of emotion would most convince your audience. Guilt? Family or community bonding? Fear? Patriotism?
Writing Ideas:
Paint a picture of the problem through a hypothetical, personal, or observed example (describe what could happen or what did happen in the form of a anecdote or a summary of someone affected by the problem that you learned about through research.
Use this as your introduction or conclusion. An introduction like this can raise awareness of the problem you’re addressing. A conclusion like this can reveal the benefits of solving the problem in the way you suggest.
A Naysayer Section: You raise a point brought up by your opposition, and you respond to it. First, quote or summarize the opposing/different idea from your research or include your imagined naysayer or skeptic’s response. Immediately counter the idea.
Writing Ideas:
Respond in one of these three ways:
The skeptic is wrong, and here is proof.
The skeptic isn’t wrong, but my idea is equally important and here’s why.
The skeptic has forgotten or neglected something that I will now explain.
In addition to the above, your essay needs to include the following:
An explanation of the controversy and how it affects a particular group
A clear thesis statement expressing your position on the controversy
At least one summary/paraphrase, properly cited
At least one direct quotation, properly cited
No more than one “long” quotations, properly cited (none are required)
An MLA Works Cited page containing only the sources cited inside your essay
Remember the following when citing information in your essay:
You must cite inside of your essay any information that you directly quote (3+ words in a row directly from a source) OR summarize (put in your own words the ideas of something you read elsewhere). The citation rules are the same for either direct quotations or summaries.
When you are directly quoting, you must put the borrowed words in “quotation marks.”
Be sure that your citation, whether in the sentence itself or in parenthesis at the end, you include whatever the first word in your Works Cited entry is. It’s usually the author’s name, but may be the “Title of the Article.”
If there is no page number or other clear location marker (paragraph number, section number, etc.), you do not have to include one.
All in-text citations should be clearly matched to a Works Cited entry at the end of the essay.
