- Online issues writing assignment for July 18:
Construct either a position or proposal argument (see "Argument" power point) based on one of the topics listed in "digital issues" or one related to online issues. You should start by converting the topic into either an issue or a problem and then explain it from a variety of perspectives, then state your position or propose your solution, give reasons and support and, finally, consider counterarguments and address them. The topics in the "digital issues" list are not claims. You will have to determine what kind of claim you want to make related to the topic.
You should have at least four sources, some of which may be from the Digital Literacies section in our text book and your paper should be around 4 to 6 pages. The page count is not what will determine its success, but rather the effectiveness of the argument contained within.
