The purpose of this proposal is to let me know your plan for the Rogerian
essay. Prior to completing this proposal, please make sure to review the
Rogerian assignment directions carefully. These directions can be found in
the classroom. The assignment directions are also given below.
There is no time or submission limit for this proposal assignment. Please take your time in completing this quiz.
The Rogerian assignment directions are as follows:
This essay should be between 900 and 1000 words. First, you will choose a topic of interest that has two opposing sides. Then, you need to research that topic in order to specify the topic’s scope, so it can be easily discussed in a shorter, 1000 word essay. The following overused topics may not be used in your essay: gun control, abortion, capital punishment, gay marriage, gays in the military, mandatory drug testing, euthanasia, childhood obesity, women in the military, diets (including the Palio diet), workout regiments (including CrossFit), underage drinking, and the legalization of marijuana. This essay must include a minimum of five sources. Three should peer-reviewed sources preferably from the APUS databases. You may use eBooks; however, as discussed earlier this semester, books generally are not as current as peer-reviewed articles. You may also use primary sources (interviews, statistics, etc); however, these primary sources should be obtained from experts within that field. If you cannot find strong sources for your chosen topic, then change your topic. If you have a question about the validity of a source, please email me, or post your question to the open forum.
Make sure to include the following sections in your essay: introduction and
claim, background, body, and conclusion. Within the body of your Rogerian
essay, make sure to include the following in any order: the background for
your chosen topic, the opposition, the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents
claim, scholarly research, your claim, discuss the warrants for your claim
and the opposition in order to find the common ground, and show the common
ground between your opponents claim and your claim.
After you have written your essay, please make sure to revise the content of your essay. Lastly, be sure to edit your essay by checking grammar, format, and smaller technical details. Please make sure your essay is written in third person. |
