Coming up to the final stretch

I have posted a couple of good argument essays from previous semesters in the Medallion Zine for you to read. They aren't perfect :-) but they highlight a couple of key parts of this assignment. Remember that this is a documented argument, so you need to support your position with evidence from others. Your Handbook has many examples of how to integrate source material into your writing, and there is a set of examples in the course folder drawn from the Terrorism article (TerrorismQuotes.rtf) Check out the rubric to see how the use of sources is evaluated in this piece of writing. Just don't drop quoted material into your paragraphs (See the Quotation Interloper for how that sounds to your reader.

Make sure to allow enough time to proofread your essay carefully. On the previous essay on Ethos and Audience, the lowest sub-set scores were for sentence precision and GUM.

This is the last week for the required discussion group entries; the deadline is Sunday night.
