4.2.9 Practice: Complete Your Assignment Tenth Grade Literature and Composition Sem 2

Practice Name: Ameria Hollins

Date: 12/15/21

Draft an argumentative research essay based on the outline you created in Lesson 1. Although you're free to find new sources and make changes to your original plan, all the original requirements from Lesson 1 remain, including a strong claim, evidence from credible sources, and supporting reasons that back up the claim.

In addition to writing your draft, you must respond to at least one counterclaim. This response may appear in one of the body paragraphs you already planned out in Lesson 1, or it may appear in a new body paragraph. Your assignment should show good judgment about where best to address counterclaims.

Your essay should include the following elements:  A claim, supporting reasons, and evidence from at least five sources  An introduction paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph  A counterclaim, followed by a response that supports your argument  Transitions to show how the claim, reasons, evidence, and counterclaim are related

You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:  Is my claim arguable and defensible? Do my supporting reasons back up my claim? Does my evidence back up both my claim and my supporting reasons?  Does my introduction paragraph get the reader's attention? Does it present my claim clearly? Does it give the reader enough information about my topic to understand my position?  Do my body paragraphs present both reasons and evidence? Does the evidence come from credible sources? Do my body paragraphs include an appropriate amount of content? Do I provide a topic sentence for each paragraph that clearly explains what it's about?  Do I address at least one counterclaim? Do I respond to it fairly and professionally? Is my response located in an appropriate place in my essay?

Use this rubric to determine how well you're meeting the criteria for the assignment.
