RESEARCHED ARGUMENT Basic Description You will complete

RESEARCHED ARGUMENT Basic Description You will complete a project that requires you to explore academic research and argument, potentially through various or mixed-methods approaches: qualitative, quantitative, popular, and scholarly. Important Definitions Any academic argument should include a thesis that is supported through claims and evidence. Synthesis connects and integrates relevant and significant concepts from text(s) to construct and support explanations, conclusions, or arguments. The Researched Argument Essay Topic: Overweight and Obesity as a Health Issue You will enter the academic conversation you have deemed interesting and important to you by producing an original argument. You have grown very familiar with what experts in the field say about your topic and with how they write; now you write to engage with those experts’ ideas and to address the debatable issue you have identified. You have a position and are ready to enter the conversation. To enter it, choose the best evidence to include, based on research you’ve done and research you realize you still need to do, to support your own position and to persuade your reader that your position is the most logical and reasonable position in the academic conversation. Write in a way that is compelling and engaging, drawing from sources that influence, support, and sometimes argue against your perspective. Make a point worth considering, a point you notice others haven’t made, at least in exactly the way you’ll make it. Here are some points to include in your paper: Specific, focused target audience (define who cares and write with that audience in mind) Clear purpose or goal (define the specific topic that leads to a clear thesis) Thesis statement (what drives your argument) Why the issue and your argument matter (the “so what?”) Well organized with smooth transitions (write it in a manner that fits your style) Draw from at least six sources, at least four of them academic (provide adequate and relevant support as you analyze and synthesize specific and concrete evidence to draw your original conclusions and to build your argument) Sources cited and documented correctly using either MLA 1800-2400 words (about 6 to 8 pages), not counting the works cited page The following words and phrases may help you to successfully complete the Argument essay: Argument – Thesis – Working Thesis – Research – Context – So What? – Evidence – Significance – Depth – Recognizable Voice – Choosing an Audience Your audience should be a real-world audience—be as specific as you can when identifying it (e.g. the members of the Richmond City Council; members of the Kentucky chapter of the Sierra Club; your high school principal). Your audience should be one that can be influenced by an academic approach to writing. The audience should also be able to do something about or with the argument you are presenting—so you’ll need to think about your audience and your purpose side by side. Deciding a Purpose Have a goal for your writing. What result do you want to achieve by making this argument to your audience? Two successful approaches are a problem—solution approach or an education/interpretation approach.
