Directions:  For this paper, you will be writing a 3 page persuasive essay. Your topic will be based on one essay from your readings from Chapters 8, 9, and 10 in Perspectives on Contemporary Issues.

Firstly, choose ONE of the essays that you read from Chapters 8, 9, and 10. Then, take a position on an issue inspired by the essay. The goal of your essay will be to persuade your readers to adopt your point of view on the topic. You will argue your position using two supporting claims to prove your position on the issue. Additionally, you will also include a counterclaim from the opposing viewpoint and you will rebut that counterclaim, showing why your position is better/stronger/more correct than the opposing viewpoint.

Lastly, you are required to use a minimum of 4 sources for this essay. One of the sources must be the textbook essay that inspired the paper’s position.

2) Provide at least two reasons to support your position and why a reader should adopt the same point of view.
3) Present at least one counterargument to your position AND rebut this counterargument (show why your position is still more desirable/attractive to the reader than the opposing position).
