Proposal Argument. Argue one solution from your paper 1 (Excessive Screen Time in Adolescents) and must include 1 rebuttal (either disagreeing with the solution, or believe in a better solution).
Paper 2: How should we solve the problem?
Prompt: Argue a solution to your problem from Paper 1.
• Write a 4-5 page argument that proposes a solution to your problem from Paper 1.
• Compile and use at least 4 college appropriate sources to support your solution. At least three of these sources must be new (not used in Paper 1). Also, one of the three sources must present an opposing view to your argument.
• Present a single, focused proposal to the problem. A proposal may have parts, but they must work together as a single solution; this cannot be multiple solutions.
• Effectively support a proposal claim using logical reasons that have a unique relation to one another. These reasons should be important to the audience.
• Use detailed evidence to support the claim and reasons.
• Include a fair and respectful rebuttal paragraph.
• Format the paper and document your research in MLA style.
Directions
• Research info on how to deal with your problem in Paper 1. If you decide to change problems, it must be related to the group’s chosen topic, not be a problem another group member is doing, and must be accepted by the professor.
• Decide on a solution you will propose. Make sure it is a single solution. The solution can have different steps or parts, but all steps and parts must work together to achieve your outcome. You can create your own unique solution, put together pieces from others’ ideas to formulate a new solution, or advocate for someone’s solution.
• Decide on the reasons that support your solution. Reasons should prove that the solution will work, that it is the best possible solution, and/or that the solution has added benefits.
• Support the reasons with specific evidence from college appropriate sources. Make sure to explain how or why the evidence supports your claim and reasons.
• In at least one paragraph but no more than half your number of reasons, refute an opposing viewpoint. Consider refuting someone who disagrees with your solution, why they are incorrect and your solution will work; refuting an opposing solution, either why it does not work or why your solution is better; or someone who has a specific problem with your solution, why their problem is mute.
• Make sure to cite all sources using MLA rules.
• Make sure to format the paper is MLA style.
• Revise, edit, and proofread your paper.
