Step 3 - Writing

Use your research to write an argumentative paper.

Use a professional writing style with correct spelling and grammar

Look at the example project to get an idea of what you have to do.

What to include:

Introduction

• Introduce your topic clearly with ideas and information from your research

• An overview of the topic

• Use facts, statistics, details and descriptions from your research

• Write a CLAIM taking a stand on the essential question and your topic

• Use academic voice with correct spelling and grammar

Your Arguments (Body paragraphs)

• Write at least three well developed arguments (reasons) to support your claim. Arguments must be based in fact from your research.

• Each argument must be supported by details, descriptions, facts or information from your research

• Use studies, documented cases and personal stories from Step 2 Research to support your arguments

• Use academic voice with correct spelling and grammar

Conclusion

• Write a concluding paragraph.

• Now that you have explained your arguments for or against an issue, what should be done moving forward?

  • • Should we:

      • • • Continue the activity in the same way (explain why, even with the risks)

          • Continue with the activity with modifications/changes to minimize the risks (explain how)

          • Stop the activity and substitute with something else (explain what and how it could be done)

• • • Other questions to think about and perhaps include in your conclusion:

      • • • What actions need to be taken moving forward? What will be the results of those actions? (positive or negative)

• • • • • • How will those actions impact or affect humans or the environment?

• • • • • • Who needs to be involved?

• • • • • • Are there unanswered questions that still need to be addressed by experts
