This essay will tie together what we’ve learned in this class. It needs to be between 750 and 1,000 words. You may research your topic if you like, but research is not required. If you do research, you must make sure to include a Works Cited page and parenthetical references in your text.

You will choose a topic to argue. You will argue only one side, but you will point out the merits of your opponent’s argument and then show the reader why your argument is stronger.

You will write your paper using the form of a classical argument found on page 92 of your text and including different forms of evidence that appeal to your audience.
