Argument Paper
Now that you’ve read Berger and George, explore a topic related to their essays. You must reference both Berger and George ‘s articles as you argue your opinion about your chosen topic. Make sure to back up your claims with sufficient evidence (you need at least one additional source for this essay!).
Use the rhetorical strategies (ie: specific language, counterargument, transitions, quotes, concrete examples, as well as ethos, pathos, and logos) we’ve discussed throughout the semester–including those employed by both Berger and George–to persuade your reader that your thesis is valid.
