1 Argument Unit Final Assessment Senior English Sherburn Name: Argument Portfolio The last several weeks of our class have been dedicated to arguments. We have practiced identifying arguments in varying formats, including political cartoons, videos, print ads, articles, and speeches. We have also discussed what makes an argument provocative, effective, and credible through an analysis of both content and style. Finally, we have reflected on some of the real world implications arguments can have. It is now your turn to showcase your learning by integrating each of these pieces into your own argument about a topic or issue that you are passionate about. Assignment (what s due): An argument portfolio centered on an issue that you are passionate about. The portfolio will include: 1) A statement of interest/rationale (2-3 paragraphs) 2) An annotated bibliography (six sources minimum) 3) An outline of your argument (see handout) 4) An argumentative letter (3-5 pages) Rationale (why we re doing this assignment): This assignment not only helps me evaluate what you ve learned over this entire unit, but also gives you a chance to learn more about yourself and something that you re passionate about. Writing an argumentative letter that is based on real research will help you gain analytical and critical thinking skills that can be applied in educational, professional, and personal contexts. These are skills that you will be evaluated on when you take standardized tests (which can help you gain access to higher education/scholarship money) and in future classes. Most importantly, being able to craft an effective argument, particularly in letter form, is a relevant skill that you can apply to your real life. At the end of this project, you will have produced a thoughtful, coherent argumentative letter that you could actually SEND to someone and make your voice heard on an issue that matters to YOU! Process (how to complete this project, step-by-step): 1) Statement of Interest/Rationale: Pick a topic or issue that you re passionate about or find relevant to your own life, and generate a question that you will take a stance on. EXAMPLE: Should drug companies test their products on animals?
2 In 2-3 paragraphs, clearly identify your topic and explain why you chose it. Why is it interesting to you? Why is your topic/stance worth arguing or researching? In other words, why is it relevant/should others care? 2) Annotated Bibliography: Identify and read six sources pertaining to your topic, three of which address the pro side of the issue, and three of which address the con side Cite these sources following MLA conventions Annotate these citations through both summary and analysis; identify the claim, primary evidence, and warrant/backing of each, and then reflect on whether or not you thought the argument was effective and why/why not (4-5 sentences minimum/source) 3) Argument Outline Handout Considering the research you have just completed, take a stance on your issue. What argument will you make, and what evidence will you use to support your claims? What counterarguments/evidence could others offer instead of your claim, and how could you refute them? Fill out the handout using evidence from your annotated bibliography, utilizing MLA in-text citations when appropriate 4) Argumentative letter Use your argument outline to craft a thoughtful and effective letter that clearly states your position on this issue. Your letter should: Follow letter format (date, opening, closing, salutations, indented paragraphs) Clearly introduce the main claim/stance and its relevance Back up the main claim and supporting claims with evidence Consider counterclaims and arguments and offer a thoughtful and researched refute Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from and supports your argument. Pay careful attention to spelling, grammatical, and mechanical issues. Be 3-5 double-spaced pgs., 12-point Times or Times New Roman Font, and follow MLA citation format 5) Staple and turn in all of these pieces by the beginning of class on Monday, April 15 th. Please order the pieces of your portfolio as follows: 1. Statement of interest/rationale (1) 2. Argument handout (10 pts) 3. Argumentative letter (40 pts) 4. Annotated Bibliography (3)
