Objectives
Use all phases of the writing process to create a largely error free essay, understand and use an academic article to analyze an element of culture, research, synthesize, integrate, and contextualize multiple outside sources (through quotations, paraphrasing, and summary) with their own voice, analysis, or position, while avoiding plagiarism. Employ a variety of organizational patterns to support or advance central ideas (theses/claims).
Minimum Length: 7-10 pages
Prompt: Your goal is to develop a thesis based on your research (research question) into masculinity and mental health, and provide at least two solutions to the issue you have researched.
The main purpose of an argument/persuasive essay is to convince your audience to take your side on an issue by presenting a logical idea and supporting it with specific and appropriate researched evidence.
Successful essays will do this by:
Including an introduction that draws in the reader, briefly introduces Cohen and the topic of your essay, and has a clear thesis that states your argument and signals a plan for the essay.
• Creating a literature review that establishes and explains your anchor text in a body paragraph. Your anchor text will be your central/main text for your essay. Summarize the main argument, claims, and evidence. Discuss the author’s ideas as if you were explaining them to someone who was unfamiliar with the text.
•Including at least three outside sources to strengthen your argument. The three sources must be in addition to your anchor text
• Including vivid and specific details when describing concepts in your essay.
• Synthesizing by combing information from different sources to inform and support a greater understanding of your argument.
•Includes at least TWO solutions to your researched topic
•Finishing with a conclusion that restates your thesis, reviews your body paragraphs, and a final though, prediction, piece
of advice, something you learned or realized or the answer to a question you posed earlier.
