Part 2:The Researched Stakeholder Argument Essay
undefined
Purpose and Focus:
undefined
An argumentative essay aims to convince or persuade an audience. It will most likely fall into one of the following general categories, depending on the stakeholder audience you choose:
undefined
To persuade undecided stakeholders to accept your thesis.
To convince opposing stakeholders to be less resistant to your thesis
To persuade stakeholders who agree with you to take action
undefined
Your focus will be determined by the research you do in Part 1, the Annotated Bibliography.
undefined
Development for Audience:
undefined
The audience for this essay is a specific stakeholder of your choice. In order to best achieve your purpose (persuasion) with your audience (a particular stakeholder), you’ll need to:
undefined
Carefully consider which stakeholder will need to hear your argument, target them, and work to consider that audience’s needs, values, and knowledge on the issue;
Rely on audience appeals: logos, ethos, and pathos. Be sure that the appeals used suit the rhetorical situation.
Take into account the expectations your audience has of you as an author:
The stakeholder expects that the argument is supported with reasons and evidence from the research you’ve gathered.
He/she wants to see that you are familiar with the conversation on the issue and wants to know how your argument uniquely expands and contributes to that conversation.
The stakeholder would expect the emphasis to be placed upon arguing the feasibility of a particular solution to a problem, should your argument lend itself to this particular form (which is especially possible when considering a claim of policy).
The stakeholder (and your instructor) will expect full citations for all sources used and will want clear and concrete writing that is well-structured and organized logically.
Demonstrate an informed opinion about the conversation by including at least one counterargument for your position. Accurately and fairly represent and respond to such an alternative viewpoint on the issue.
Show that you have conducted an effective inquiry into the issue by paraphrasing, directly quoting, and explaining the source material appropriately and by documenting sources correctly in MLA style. This will bolster your ethos with your audience.
undefined
Genre and Organization:
undefined
Your genre will be a researched argumentative essay.
undefined
Thoughtfully consider how you will organize your essay and how you will order your reasons, where you respond to your counterargument, and what information you will place in your introduction and conclusion. To decide between the Classical Model and Rogerian, think about which will better help you reach your audience and achieve your purpose.
undefined
Style and Conventions:
undefined
Your tone and voice should be appropriate for the stakeholder and academic context in which you’re writing.
Your stakeholder proposal should be grammatically correct and you should pay close attention to all conventions of standard, written English – especially those discussed in Style and Convention Seminars.
Your argument should be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman, 12-pt. font, and 1” margins.
o Include your last name and page number in the upper right-hand corner of EVERY page. o Include a header with your name, instructor name, the course title, and due date in the upper left of the first page. o Include a title, centered underneath the header. It should be more specific than “Project 3.” o Include a separate Works Cited page with full citations for all sources and should match the in-text citations in the body of the paper. It should have the title “Works Cited” centered (no underlining) above it. Conclude with a SIGNED honor pledge: “I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance” and is followed by your signature.
