Worth: 100 points

Writing Prompt:

You should be well-informed on each of the topics now. For this composition, you will need to pick one of the topics from the United Nations list of global issues, pick a side, and then write a composition arguing your position on the topic. You will need to gather sources via the Los Angeles Southwest College library.  Please follow the directions in the Zoom lesson.  You will need three peer reviewed, scholarly articles that were written within the last ten years for each side (this is six sources total) and use them as your basis of proof. You will need to use quotes, summary, and/or paraphrasing in some fashion for each body paragraph.

You will need to compose a well-developed, well-organized, and thoughtful essay with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. If you need to revisit the paragraph outline, please do. If you need to double check the thesis statement requirements, please do.

You will need to acknowledge opposing points of view and respond to them. For this composition, I would like for you to keep it strictly geared outside of yourself and any personal experience (do not use I or we statements). You will need to include a works cited page, which does not count towards the word count. If you need help with how to do this, please use the Purdue Owl MLA formatting (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) site.

And lastly, proofread your composition carefully before submitting it. Remember that you need to be within the word counts for it to be eligible for grading and conferences.
