Essay Topic: The Psychological Impact of Repetitive Concussions in Sports
For this project, there needs to be an article that takes a different view on the topic. For example, if a student is arguing that college athletes should be paid, they would want to look for an article that argues against that position. Or the article could argue for a different solution than the one the student is presenting. For example, if a student is proposing that physical therapy could end the opioid epidemic, they may want to look for an article that proposes another solution, such as education, is the key to ending the epidemic. Ultimately, if you cannot find an article that disagrees with your point of view, it is okay to analyze an article that you primarily agree with. However, it will take a bit more critical thinking on your part to add your voice to the essay. The suggestions in They Say I Say Chapter 4 – “Yes/No/Okay, but” can help you develop ideas.
There must be quotes from the text and a reference page is needed.
2. Your second paragraph should be a brief summary in neutral language about the article.
3. Paragraphs 3-5 should each address a different point that the article makes. You should present what the author says and then your response to it.
4. Finally, have a conclusion that wraps up your ideas and points to the larger implications.
