Assignment 4: The Pro/Con Essay


For the final assignment I'd like you to write a 1,200 - 1,500 word pro/con essay in which you analyze the various arguments for and against a particular proposition of your choice.

This topic may be something like:

-a topic we covered in class [i.e. genetic testing],

- something related to world politics [e.g. the war in Iraq, Korean unification]

- something spiritual e.g. the existence of god, the evil of eating meat]

- something related to your everyday lives [e.g. the teaching of courses in English at advanced institutions of learning in Korea].

Due Date: 22 December 2007

p.s. I'll need references, bibliographies - the whole cabooddle - for this one.

Can your students use www.procon.org to research their topics? I often encourage students to use that website since the research is so in depth and well sourced. The Con is that they only explore 12 topics.
