Over the course of the semester, you have spent a significant amount of time exploring, narrowing, and analyzing your social justice topic. Hopefully, by this point, you have a good understanding of your own opinion on the controversary. For this assignment, you will present an advocacy in action essay. In other words, you will outline a proposal for what can be done to resolve or change the issue. This is an argumentative essay so you will need to present your call to action in a thesis statement, and then use the rest of your essay to argue why this is the best call to action to address your issue.
Helpful Hints

In the body of the essay, use our critical thinking theories, vocabulary, and additional readings to make your case. Why is this issue important and what does it matter to you? What community does it affect and why should we care? Use your annotated bibliography to help give shape to this essay. Your concluding paragraph should answer the “so what” question. What effect will your advocacy action have on your issue and why should your reader care?
