Can you help with an English assignment? An argumentative essay APA form  4-5pages with one source

 HERE THE INSTRUCTIONS

 

 What that means is this: start looking for a published piece of writing–any piece of published writing!, about any subject!–with which you disagree. Again: one source only

 

In the essay, you’ll properly present what the piece of writing has to say, maybe agree with some of it, then spend the rest of the essay arguing against it.

 

To do so, in paragraph 1, after the hook/lead, clearly introduce the piece of writing (title and author); then, summarize it; then, clarify why you disagree with it. (This would be your thesis; if you list reasons you disagree with it, then you’ll have created a preview thesis. The choice is yours!)

 

Then, in a new paragraph (or more), quote/acknowledge any point(s) in the essay with which you agree (assuming there are any), explaining why you agree with them. (This could be skipped, or one paragraph, or even several paragraphs, depending on your thoughts about your chosen source.) 

 

Then (and this should be the bulk of the essay), in a new paragraph (or more), acknowledge the points in the essay with which you disagree, explaining why you disagree with them. (Ideally, you should isolate and attack each point you disagree with in a separate paragraph.)You should not (need to) provide counter-research.

 

Then, in a final paragraph, conclude: interestingly, memorably–not repetitively.

 

Then, attach a References page, clarifying the publishing information of your source. 

 

As always, keep this in mind:

be sure you find the subject of the article you disagree with interesting,
be sure you disagree with most of what it’s saying,
and be sure you can disagree without having to look stuff up. This is not a research essay, not should it read as one!

 

The final draft will meet these guidelines to the best of your abilities.

 

All criteria for the paper rest on the concepts discussed in the assigned readings and lectures.
