Paper 2 Assignment

Here is a reminder of the details for Paper 2, due on Monday 29/06.

This assignment is effectively a draft for your final paper, and will be about 5-6 pages.

1. You will do a 1-2 page introduction summarizing the main arguments in the debate you will be dealing with. This will let me see how you intend to situate your own argument in that debate. At the end of the introduction you will state your proposition, and then you will summarize your reasons, as well as your partner's reasons. This help me to see that you are not duplicating each others arguments and that you are both on track.

2. You will then provide an outline of the claims/reasons for your argument. This outline will provide a summary of your main claims, as well as evidence and reasons to support those claims. You will also include the main warrants/unstated assumptions in your argument in order to determine if they will be acceptable to your audience. This will not be in full prose, but your outline must be written in full sentences. You are also not required to have all your evidence in place. This will be about 2-3 pages.

3. The final portion of your assignment is an annotated bibliography. You can choose your citation format as long as it is consistent. Your annotation needs to include 2-3 sentences summarizing the argument of your source.

As always, this will be posted in the dropbox on Monday morning.
