Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages (1250-1750 words)
Points: 150 points for final draft This assignment invites students to compose a persuasive essay examining a narrowly defined, academic, beneficial, and credible topic developed with the help of the invention tools provided in the textbooks, in the class, by the instructor, and with research. To solidify such an analysis, you will incorporate research to explain more fully, illustrate more vividly and support more concretely the evaluation of another professional’s writing. This essay does not ask you to provide your own subjective opinions on the issue being discussed; rather, this assignment asks you to assert evaluative claims about the effectiveness of an argument based solely on the author’s use of rhetorical concepts and writing skills, which would be used as criteria for such an evaluation.The successful essay will develop and defend a claim (thesis) about the effectiveness of an author’s persuasive efforts, which attempt to intervene in a controversial subject—something about which there is substantive and rational disagreement.
