T
Due    Week    7    and    worth    100    points
For    your    next    assignment,    you    will    write    a    stance    essay.    A    stance    essay    takes    a    position    on    a    topic    and    argues    and    supports    that   
position    with    evidence.    Consider    your    topic:
What    possible    positions/arguments    are there?
What    position    resonates    with    you?    (Which    position    do    you    believe    is correct?)
What    are    your    main points?
What    are    the    counterpoints?    Are    you    ready    to    dispute them?
Do    you    have    enough    evidence    to    effectively    support    your argument?
For    the    stance    essay,    your    personal    voice    (your    perspective)    should    come    through.    This    is    just    like    assignment    1,    except    you    should
