“Write for a Cause” Argument Essay Information To-Do Date: Jul 8 at 8:00am Objective: Students will connect the various modules in the course to the objective of the final exam. Objective: Students will use the elements of persuasion to support their topic. Objective: Students will connect research methods to write an argument essay. Connecting What You’ve Learned This Semester This semester we started our journey by learning about ourselves through the MyPlan assessment and going through the self-reflective process of finding a “cause” we could connect to your personal or professional growth. As we learned more about ourselves and our natural abilities, we were able to think more earnestly about what we want to see changed or improved in the world. This led us to our “Write for a Cause” research topic and our journey to this point commenced from there. Here’s an overview of what you’ve learned that is applicable to your final exam. For the final exam you will: Use the sources you discovered and summarized in the Preliminary Bibliography and Annotated Bibliography. Use the power of persuasion as you did in the Research Proposal essay. Create claims for topic sentences, offer evidence and write warrants for the information in your body paragraphs as you did in the Short Answer Response module. Use the same essay format as the Analytical Essay where you: (1) create an engaging introduction that leads to a strong thesis (2) offer research responsibly in well-developed body paragraphs (3) write a strong conclusion using the reflect and project method where you leave a lasting impression on your audience. FINAL EXAM ARGUMENT ESSAY (10%) The argument essay should be over the “Write for a Cause” topic that you posed in the preliminary research assignment. For the final exam essay, you will write an argument essay on your topic using factual information gathered from your research. Your intent is to persuade, so you will use the subjective tone. For the final exam, you should: Take a stance on your topic and argue for your cause. This essay should be persuasive, and it should offer factual evidence and warrants to support the claims made in your essay. You may include personal anecdotes to support your ideas as well. If you choose to use anecdotes to support your claims, they should be contextualized and supported by research. Research should go either before or after each anecdote. Please Note: The ONLY difference between the analytical essay and the final exam essay is that your intent is to persuade me and any other audience you imagine to support your “Write for a Cause” topic. The analytical essay and the argument essay are NOT the same essays. They should have two separate thesis statements and offer different forms of evidence. You will use the same strategies for writing the introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs as was used in the analytical essay. Please see the information in Module 6 and review the webinars for help with strategies for developing your paragraphs.

 We are facing a unique collective experience, the pandemic created by COVID-19. This is an experience that will stay in our minds forever. Although the virus is spreading rapidly, there is little we know about its nature. We are trying to be informed, but the type of information we receive is so overwhelming that at times is hard to separate facts from half trues and lies regarding COVID-19.

The final paper must include 3 pages based on the current knowledge we have about Coronavirus. The paper should be written as a word document, double spaced, font size 12, and 1 inch margins. The body of the paper should present the content in a logical sequence, starting with the biological aspects of the virus, then the effects on health, concluding with its impacts in our society. Guide your work using the following prompts to breakdown the contents: 1. Introduction: What is a Coronavirus? Find information about the biology of the virus. Include a description of its structure. 2. Life cycle of the virus: How does coronavirus spread? What happens when a person is infected? How does the virus effect the cells of the individual? 3. Symptomatology: What are the effects of the virus in the human body? How long is the incubation period? 4. Treatment: Is there a cure? What is the current status of research in this virus? Which institutions/laboratories are working on finding a vaccine? 5. Conclusions: With all the knowledge you have, what should you and your community do to face COVID-19 pandemic? If you wish, you can share first hand experiences, although this is not required. 6. List of references: Consult at least 02 scientific articles and 02 popular media sources. List the articles using APA format: Author, date of publication, title of article, organization or publisher. If information is obtained from online sources, include the URL and the retrieval date.
