 Course Project: Topic Selection

1. My argument will provide
reasons related to the following question:

Should access to abortion be unlimited, including into the third
trimester? 

 2. __√__My argument
will support this claim as true; my answer to the question is “yes.”  

     ______My argument will not support this
claim and will oppose this claim as false; my answer to the question is “No.” 

 

3. Stated argumentatively,
I think the three most important issues around this topic are:

 

  (1) should women have the right to an
abortion if serious handicapped are detected in their unborn children 

    (2)  is
it immoral to prevent a woman from having an abortion?

    (3) is It immoral to force a woman to carry
a pregnancy to term against her will?

1. Follow the directions in the assigned
   textbook reading on how to write an argumentative essay on the issue you
   chose in Week 1.
2. Write a 4–6 page argumentative essay
   on your chosen topic.
3. Be sure your essay contains the
   following: 

•  
• An opening paragraph that
  states a clear thesis that is focused, plausible, and arguable and that
  gives direction and purpose to the paper 
• A fair-minded, balanced, and
  objective development of the pros and cons of the issue in
  a well-organized sequence of ideas, free of mechanical errors 
• Credible, reliable, and
  authoritative evidence in support of the points
  made 
• A minimum of five authoritative
  sources that support your claim
• A strong conclusion that
  summarizes your views, reminds the audience of the issue and its
  importance, and shows in brief that you have successfully defended your
  thesis

1. Consider these questions when you
   review your paper:

•  
• Did you address at least three
  aspects of the issue you chose? 
• Does each aspect have relevant and
  authoritative evidence in support of your point? 
• Have you included a view that is in
  opposition to your viewpoint, and have you answered that opposing view,
  pointing out its flaws in such a way as to refute it?
