The Start of Module III

July 18, 2007

Module 3 will go from this Wednesday to next Wednesday - another 8 days. We are focusing on two different types of argumentative writing, position papers and proposal papers. We just finished exploring issues and arguing a positin. Now we will explore problems and arguing solutions to the problem. This is interesting because it can be done using the same topic. Instead of thinking of take a side to issue, now we must consider what problems are present as a result of these issues. For instance, one of is arguing whether or not HOA’s violate the personal freedoms of the homeowners. Well, if it does, then what problems arise because of this? and how might be solve these problems? Now is the time to start thinking about your issue and what problems are related. I set up a Grouptivity discussion for you to discuss this with each other. Remember you need to respond a minimum of 3 times in discussions.

Be sure to read Chapter 22 in A Writer’s Resource for this unit. You will need to know what primary and secondary research is because we will be conducting some primary research of our own. That is assignment #7. You will have two choices on this one, so be sure to read the directions first. And here’s a little extra help from the Purdue Owl.
