DAY ONE of Three.
Tips:
- Argument vs Evidence!
- Argument: “…social media can affect our ability to make real friends…
- Evidence: “Matt Brashears…says that in the past 20 years fewer and fewer Americans have intimate friendships. (Source #1)”
- Read the directions first!
- Mark up the articles; highlight/circle the evidence you want to use (1, 2) for your arguments and the opposing argument and the rebuttal (argument 3).
- Remember to cite the sources! (“According to Source #1…”)
- Be sure to use something from all three sources.
- THESIS! THESIS! THESIS!
- a) Intro w/THESIS b) Arg #1 + evidence c) Arg #2 + evidence d) Oppo + Arg #3 rebuttal e) Conc.
- Take your time! You have plenty!
- PROOFREAD!
