WRITING TO PERSUADE An ACADEMIC AUDIENCE:
RESEARCH ESSAY

ASSIGNMENT

Write a 1,500-2,000 word
(not including title, header, and bibliography) researched argument with a position
claim on a topic of your choice.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this
assignment is to convince readers to change their point-of-view or their
actions regarding an issue you care about. You are not responsible for solving
the problem entirely, but rather for contributing something meaningful to the
ongoing conversation surrounding the issue. Position arguments like this are
very common in academic debates and in a wide range of writing both inside and
outside of academic contexts. 

PROCESS

For this assignment, you
will need to conduct library and online research to “listen in” on what others
have already said and to find evidence to support your claim. The essay will
also need appropriate context and a convincing engagement with those who might
oppose your argument. Here are some steps you might consider to get started:

1. Begin by identifying a topic/controversial issue
that interests you personally and spend some time isolating a central,
unresolved problem. Next, develop a research question to guide your preliminary
fact-finding–something like “What should be done about X?”

2. Once you’ve gathered some background information
on your topic, develop a working thesis that includes a claim and reasons
joined by a connective element like the word “because.” You’ll use these
reasons–three or four of the key points supporting your solution–to shape the
body of your essay.

3. Next, consider who your target audience is for an
“academic argument.” Make sure you are
specific about who you are trying to convince, and what you want them to do
(i.e. think more critically about the issue, change their perspective, or take
a particular action).

4. Start writing by drafting an introduction that
sets-up the situation or problem your essay addresses. Then, use a paragraph to
give any crucial background information. Now you can begin using quoted and
paraphrased research to justify each of your reasons for your position. As your
essay takes shape, make sure you include a “naysayer” paragraph that evaluates
at least one obvious opposing point-of-view. Finally, don’t forget that your
conclusion needs to help readers see what they’ve gained from your essay and
what the future implications or direction for further research may be. 

POINTS
OF EVALUATION

Your essay will be
evaluated based on the Research Essay scoring rubric.
