Please see the assignment guidelines for specific requirements for the paper. From the Taking Sides textbook, you will choose a selected topic and, on panels of 3-4, make a formal defense of your position on the issue. Members of the panels will research the topic with the Taking Sides text or from supporting research to support their position as well as clearly understanding the other side of the debate. A typical debate will consist of initial arguments, rebuttals, and questions from the audience. Please consult the instructor if you are unsure of proper citation or assignment guidelines.
All assignments are to be typed and submitted at the beginning of class on the posted due date.
Papers that are handed in after the class period will not be given credit. Students are expected to attend each class period and arrive to class on time. Your insights and ideas are incredibly important. As such, you are encouraged to engage yourself into class discussions daily.
