One challenge some students have with WP One is making a strong argument. Because of their own expertise, they tend to write informative papers. An informative paper tells readers about something\u2014it provides information without asking anything from its audience but understanding. However, an argumentative paper tries to persuade readers. It offers a stance, and asks its readers to accept that stance. When you write an argument, you want readers to agree with you, and often, act upon that agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In composition, we focus on teaching argument because we\u2019re preparing students for potential writing in other disciplines, where they may be required to take positions and defend them, or make claims based upon their research. In the next module, the scholarly articles you\u2019ll find are offering arguments based upon their research\/experiments. You may think \u201cargument\u201d sounds negative, but it\u2019s really about finding answers to issues for which there aren\u2019t clear solutions, about which reasonable people can disagree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Expertise Topic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an outline of this type of argument. If I were a student writing this paper, I would make an argument about Paris, because it\u2019s one of my favorite vacation destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thesis Statement: <\/strong>Paris is the best destination for a traveler\u2019s first trip to Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting Reasons: <\/strong>Each of the following sentences would be topic sentences for the paper\u2019s body paragraphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paris is home to many famous monuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with monuments, the museums of Paris house some of the world\u2019s best art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parisian restaurants offer great food for any traveler\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a shopper, Paris has a wide variety of shopping venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the language can be a barrier, knowing a few basic words\/phrases make navigating the city and its attractions easy. (this is more of a rebuttal to an opposing view)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(conclusion paragraph encouraging readers to book a trip to Paris)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Forget the Annotated Bibliography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of your Writing Projects requires you to write an Annotated Bibliography. While you don\u2019t have to use sources for WP One, you are required to create an Annotated Bibliography with at least three sources. Review the sample documents in the MLA Templates folder in Blackboard. An Annotated Bibliography is a list of resources, like a Works Cited page. Each source in an Annotated Bibliography is accompanied by a summary paragraph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
