Paper Two: The Guided Argument
Guided Argument Assignment:[For distribution to students]
-
Paper Two prompt. At this point, you have read several stories, all of which touch on issues related to play and work, though in different ways.
-
You job is to draft a persuasive argument with a contestable thesis that compares and/or contrasts scenes from two stories.
-
In your comments on each scene, you are to identify how income impacts a character’s understanding of play. You need to incorporate our other major terms, low-income, class, setting, boredom, and plot and any others into your general argument!
-
This paper will require that you define these terms when you first introduce them into the paper.
-
You are to follow the structure of a Toulmin argument, use proper in-text citation, and we will also be including a works cited page.
-
Three secondary sources will be required
Homework:
Generate ten possible thesis statements, using at least two out our class terms in each statement. Fine two secondary sources on one of the stories you would like to write about. Bring them with you to class next time.
