ASSIGNMENT: Write an essay that presents a problem, proposes a solution to that problem, and justifies the solution. You may write either a “practical proposal,” which addresses a particular audience about a problem that the audience has the power to change, or a “policy proposal,” which addresses a general audience on some public issue. Whichever type of proposal you choose, your paper must cite at least eight credible sources, four of which must be available via the FIU Library.

In arguing for your proposed solution, you’ll need to present your position as a claim-with-reason thesis and support that thesis using the tools of argument (e.g. arguments from principle, consequences, and precedent, as well as backing for your warrant; don’t worry, we’ll talk about what all of these things are in class). You will also need to address relevant counterarguments. Doing so not only strengthens your own argument, but demonstrates that you are part of a truth-seeking debate community by recognizing the arguments of others.

GRADING CRITERIA: In grading your essays, I’ll be asking the following questions:

-Does the essay present a problem? Does it successfully convince its audience that a problem exists and that the problem is truly problematic?

-Does the essay propose a solution? Does it describe the solution in enough detail that the reader can understand how the solution would solve the problem?

-Does the essay justify the solution? Does it show how the solution’s benefits outweigh its costs? Does it show why the solution is better than other possible solutions?

-In arguing for the solution, does the essay present a clear thesis in the form of a claim with reasons?

-Does it use arguments from principle, consequence, and precedent to generate its reasons?

-Does it support its thesis with grounds (evidence for reasons) and backing (evidence for warrant)?

-Does it address relevant arguments against the proposed solution?

-Is the essay easy to read? Is it free of typos and grammatical errors? Have you cited your sources correctly in MLA format?
