essay is on the increase of forest fires. The 3 solutions I want to use in the essay are; create more climate change regulations, increase funding for fire departments and wildland departments to do more controlled burns, and increase fire prevention education.The counterargument is that people think forest fires are not harmful and we should let them burn. Use the fact that I live in California so this is a major concern for me.Assignment: So far, we have completed readings on various current issues as well as written a claim of policy essay on a controversial topic.It is now time to write another argumentative, problem-solution paper by focusing on one significant problem that impacts you (directly or indirectly) and that needs to be addressed, whether it is in your professional life, your college, community, personal life, or family. In other words, you will first find ONE significant problem that affects you in some way and propose a few solutions to address it. This argumentative paper should be in the form of a letter, addressed to one specific person of authority, who is either responsible for the problem, or who has the power to implement your proposed solutions. It could be your President, Senator, Governor, parent, instructor (even me J), friend, boss, or any other real person. In case you are not sure about the name of the person who should be addressed for your problem, you could do some research and find out. The ideas should still be organized as in a formal essay, but the opening and closing sentences of the letter as well as some additional sentences within all the paragraphs should sound like a letter. In other words, the tone will still be persuasive, assertive, and formal, but the tone will be a bit more conversational, since you are addressing someone. Like our last essay, you will first explain the problem along with its impact on you; then, you will propose 3-4 solutions for that problem. You will use research to establish both the significance of the problem and the credibility of your proposed solutions. The benefits of your solutions will be part of your solution (body) paragraphs, not part of your thesis. You will still have a counterargument paragraph, wherever it fits best in your argument. Make sure to refute it. Requirements: **1,000 words. You need to include your word count on the last page of your essay. Works Cited page is excluded from the word count. **Use at least 3 credible outside sources, including at least 1 from Mt. SAC Library Database. You may use CIEQ textbook as one of your sources. **MLA format: General formatting + in-text citations+ Works Cited page (3 sources, minimum) Important Guidelines: Claims of policy argue that certain conditions should exist. They advocate adoption of policies or courses of action because problems exist that call for solution. Almost always, should, ought to, need to, or must is expressed or implied in the claim (thesis). Claim of policy argument should first begin by attempting to convince the audience that a problem exists. This will require a factual claim that offers data proving that present conditions are unsatisfactory. Claims of value (your judgment of the problem) may also be necessary to support the claim of fact about the existing problem. So, the policy itself is introduced after the problem is established; the policy is presented as a viable solution to the problem. It would have to discuss possible resistance, obstacles, costs, challenges, etc. Additionally, it would point out the benefits for individuals/and or society if it were adopted. Counterargument: Your opponents could either disagree that a problem exists, or they could agree that there is a problem but disagree with ay least one of your proposed solutions. Purpose: To compose a college-level research paper that argues that a (controversial) political, social, or environmental condition (problem) exists and to offer viable (and debatable) solutions. We will first inform our audience about the existing condition (claim of fact), make a judgment of that condition (claim of value), and finally, propose solutions for solving that problem (claim of policy). Audience: A “scholarly” audience of experts who have closely studied your chosen controversial issue. Resources: **Please complete ALL related assignments and readings. **Please use all relevant resources posted on Canvas. Basic Structure: 1. Introduction: Hook, background/context/debate, thesis In the first paragraph, briefly present the problem, the surrounding controversy/debate, and your claim/argument. Your thesis should include a roadmap (or blueprint) of the main points—solutions— to follow in the body paragraphs. Thesis: counterargument (what critics argue)+policy claim (something should be done)+steps (how) 2. Body: counterargument-refutation + solutions/steps Beginning in paragraph two, fully develop your supports. Each support must be in a separate paragraph or set of paragraphs. Do not put two points in the same paragraph! *Begin each paragraph with a transition word (first, second, next, etc.) in the topic sentence. *Order your supports by importance (that is, the most important or persuasive support comes first). *Make sure that you include counterargument(s) as well as refutation of opposing arguments. *Suggestion: 1st body could be your problem paragraph; 2nd body could be your counterargument; 3rd could be your refutation (that could be one of more of your solutions); 4th and 5th (and possibly 6th) paragraphs could be your solutions; 6th (or last paragraph) could be your conclusion. You are free to have your own unique structure. 3. Conclusion: rephrase thesis, recap main ideas, big picture ending Finally, summarize both your claim and your supports in your final paragraph. 4. In-Text Citations and Works Cited Section You MUST include properly formatted in-text citations within the essay as well as a Works Cited section at the end of your essay (separate page). If you are not sure how to follow the MLA style, please review the textbook and the Canvas resources, including the Purdue Owl website. Keys to Success: *Be sure to write at least the minimum number of words. You must meet that requirement—1000 words *Check your grammar, spelling, and punctuation before you submit your work. You will lower your grade if your writing contains basic mistakes. Don't rely on spell check to catch every spelling error! *Start writing early. It's obvious when the author waited until the last minute. It's likely you will need several drafts to get it right. Give yourself the time to write those drafts. *Use transitions to signal to the reader that you are moving from one point to the next. If you omit transitions, it will be almost impossible for your reader to follow you. Evaluation—Essays will be evaluated using the following criteria: utilization of critical thinking skills to develop an original argument on the chosen topic that the student author has exigency for;locate, gather, and skillfully implement at least 3 relevant sources, 1 of them being from the Mt. SAC Library Databases an effective title that carries part of the burden of delivering the claim to the scholarly reader;a well-organized introductory section [1-2 paragraphs] that effectively engages the “expert audience’s” interest by establishing presenting the issue at hand, providing relevant background information, and presenting a clear solutions;compose and support a clear, concise, debatable claim/thesis;multiple body paragraphs that support the topic sentence claim with relevant, unique supporting reasons;each reason is supported with pieces of relevant, current, and unbiased evidence taken from the secondary sources;insightfully analyzes the chosen evidence to prove the supporting reason and further the claim;anticipates, acknowledges, and successfully refutes at least one major opposing viewpoints to the writer’s claim;a powerful conclusion that reiterates the author’s claim and persuades reader to accept it.a clear organizational pattern;argument moves the “expert audience” closer to acceptance of the claim;employs effective use of logos, pathos, and ethos; uses reasoning that isfree of fallacies;accurate paraphrasing and summarizing of outside sources rather than complete reliance on direct quotes;student’s own ideas, not the sources, control the paper/argument;paper reflects a mature and effective style [sentence pattern variety, college-level diction, consistent voice, effective transitions, clear organization of ideas, etc.] that is appropriate for the “expert audience” and topic of the essay;essay is free of repetitive sentence-level errors in grammar and/or punctuation that impede the readability of paper. Though first person (“I”) and 2nd person references are allowed for this essay, but avoid their excessive use. development of ideas to 6+ paragraphs; 1000 words. FINAL NOTES: 1.
