Bringing the woolly mammoth back from extinction
Description, Can (and should) science bring the woolly mammoth back from extinction? After reading and analyzing the required readings and researching two more scholarly sources, write a formal argumentative academic essay about the assigned topic. (My argument is that they should clone it. Please come up with the title) The introductory paragraph should provide common knowledge background and context for the debate and should end with a clearly stated 1 to 2 sentence argumentative thesis. Typically, you should save integration of specific source evidence for the body paragraphs, but you may cite history/background information on the topic. Each body paragraph (3 to 4 total) should include the following elements. Explicitly stated topic sentence Evidence/support: quote, paraphrase, or summary from at least two of the required readings or researched sources. Be sure to attribute source evidence with an in-text citation that corresponds to a citation on the references page. Analysis/discussion: your interpretation of the evidence in order to support your thesis The conclusion should frame the essay by recalling the importance of the debate as introduced in the introductory paragraph and bring the topic full circle for current relevance. Be sure to make the topic relevant to the health and progress of humanity. Required Sources The references page requires at least four source citations. Two of them must be from the assigned readings for argument, and the other two must be scholarly sources researched by the student. A significant portion of the grade is determined by a student’s ability to find and integrate scholarly source evidence into the body paragraphs to support the thesis. Avoid popular sources, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. Although they may be used as additional sources, they should not be relied on to significantly support an argument. The Persuasive Essay #2 on Cloning the Woolly Mammoth should be written using APA. Be sure to make a conscious choice to use the 6th edition or 7th edition and stay consistent. Please Highlight: *Thesis – the 1 to 2 sentences at the end of the introductory paragraph. *One Topic Sentence in each Body Paragraph – a sentence near the beginning *Restatement of the Thesis in the Conclusion, using synonyms and different sentence structure Support/Evidence in the Body Paragraphs from outside sources
