PEER REVIEW: For this paper, you will be asked to share a rough draft of your work with your classmates in a small group peer review assignment, and then you will give feedback to two classmates that will help them improve their work. You can then use the feedback you get from your peers as well as feedback you get from me on other pre-writing for the RP assignments to make your research argument as strong as possible before you submit the final draft. Step-by-step instructions for the RP Peer Review will be posted in our course. LENGTH: The essay must be a minimum of 4 full pages (maximum 6) plus an additional page for your Works Cited list of sources (details below). Papers that are shorter than 3 full pages will receive an automatic zero. Be sure to follow all of the guidelines in the MLA Formatting Information document; significant point-deductions will be applied to essays that are not formatted correctly. SOURCES: This paper must have 4 credible sources minimum (6 maximum). Use your sources to back up your points without letting them dominate the paper. At least two sources must be journal articles accessed through the library’s database. Avoid using Wikipedia, blogs, or any other website that is written by general users that are not established as credible authors and experts. If the credibility of any website is questionable, the source will not count as part of your minimum requirement. Direct quotations must be used and INTEGRATED; this means that quotations should not stand alone and just be inserted between your own sentences but should be included in sentences that either begin or end in your own words. Paragraphs should also begin and end in your own words, with source information being used in the middle. Remember that YOU MUST USE IN-TEXT CITATIONS any time you use information from a source, even if that information is only paraphrased or is indirectly quoted. Include page numbers for any source that has page numbers (print sources, journal articles, newspapers excerpts, etc. will all have page numbers). If any information that comes from a source is written without an in-text citation being included in the sentence or at the end of the sentence, it is plagiarism; so be careful to cite all source information thoroughly and accurately. You can cite sources in the language of your sentence as applicable, but you must also cite source by using parentheticals. You should have a combination of both direct quotations and paraphrased information (indirect quotations), and both must be followed by in-text citation parentheticals. YOU MUST HAVE A WORKS CITED PAGE. Remember that just adding a web address as a source entry does NOT count. Do not list sources on your Works Cited page that are not used in the text of your essay. Do not use in-text citations for any source not listed on the works cited page. Your in-text citations and works cited entries will be cross-referenced and should match each other without exception. Remember also that the first word listed in your works cited entry is the same word that should be used in your in-text citation. Usually that will be the author’s last name. Your works cited page must be alphabetized by the first word of each entry and must have hanging indents. Use the MLA 9 Works Cited document posted in the course Research Resources folder, OR your textbook’s MLA section, and follow the guidelines for each type of source you use in the paper. ASSIGNMENT DETAILS: Begin your work by choosing a debatable, controversial, ethical issue. Be sure to choose a topic that is debatable – do not choose something most people will already agree with! Instead, choose a topic that has more than one valid, reasonable ethical position, then choose which position you believe is the strongest. The introduction of the essay should explain the topic and present information that will help your readers care about the ethical issue. Consider using narrative strategies or an example situation to show your readers why the topic matters. The last sentence of the introduction should be a specific thesis (claim statement) that tells readers which side of the issue you will argue. What is it you want them to agree with? What exactly will you persuade them is the strongest position on the issue? Your thesis should be clear, specific, and debatable. Don’t end the introduction with a question, and don’t leave readers wondering which side you are on. Use the body of your essay to explain the different sides of the debate and the reasons you have for choosing your position. What is the ethical issue you want readers to consider? What two or more choices are being presented in this ethical debate? What are the assumptions related to the various positions? What are the consequences related to each of the choices? Which choice do YOU make and why? Develop and support your reasons with sources as well as your own original ideas and logic. Remember that when you are discussing other positions on the issue (the counterargument), your goal is to show that you understand those positions but that your position is the strongest one to take. Show your readers what you have thought critically and comprehensively about the different perspectives people have on the issue and that while there is some validity to the sides that oppose you, the best long-term consequences will be a result of the position you want them to agree with and explain why. The conclusion should reiterate your main points without being too repetitive or introducing new reasons. Often, a “call to action” can be effective in the conclusion; consider leaving readers with an idea about what they can do to related to your topic. Be sure to leave them with strong, persuasive final thoughts about your position. The last page of the essay will be the Works Cited page that lists the sources you used in the essay. CORE REQUIRED ELEMENTS: • Introduction catches readers’ attention and explains a debatable ethical issue. • Thesis makes a claim that shows your clear and specific position on the issue. • Essay explains consequences of two or more sides of the ethical debate. • Essay persuasively argues your position with support and developed reasons. • Between 4-6 sources (at least two journal articles from a database) are included in the body of the essay with in-text citation parentheticals AND listed on the Works Cited page in 9th edition MLA source entries. • Direct quotes are used in the essay and are integrated. • Essay meets minimum page length and all MLA formatting requirements. • Personal voice is used to keep readers engaged – Let your voice, reasons, and ideas drive the paper; balance that with source information that supports your reasons. • The writing is concise; essay is edited to reflect strong spelling, word choice, grammar, and punctuation skills. • Proofread carefully! Do not use 2nd person “you.” Avoid contractions and slang. You are the expert on the ethical debate you are choosing to write about, so share your knowledge and ideas as an interesting, informed, intellectual (and persuasive) writer! PLAGIARISM WARNING: Plagiarism will earn you an automatic zero. If you’re not sure if you are plagiarizing, check out the website Plagiarism.org to brush up on the rules. The general rule is that if you didn’t know the information before you began your research, you need to give credit to the source; but even if you did know information that includes dates and statistics, you should prove the accuracy of your knowledge with a source. Unintentional plagiarism will not protect you from harsh consequences; it is YOUR responsibility to avoid plagiarism! Review your syllabus for more information on plagiarism consequences.
