Write a well-developed introduction that tells the reader about the topic and what positions around it should be considered significant. In other words, CONVINCE your reader how/why the position is important in this topic!
Each of the body paragraphs should: 1) Explain the position clearly, and 2) Analyze the Ethos, Pathos, and Logos of arguments in favor of or against the position. For EACH body paragraph, use at least 1 well-integrated QUOTE SANDWICHES with citations; QUOTE and CITE support evidence (quotes and paraphrase) from our readings. In the entire essay, there should be AT LEAST 4 Quote Sandwiches. The quotes should come from article(s)/readings that you researched, or was given to you as part of class readings.
Write a thoughtful conclusion where you answer these questions about EACH position:
Does the position support actions that can cause harm, oppress, or alienate the public good or marginalized groups or communities? If so, How?
Does the position support actions that can unify and/or empower the public good or any marginalized groups or communities? If so, How?
