THE RESEARCH-BASED PERSUASIVE ESSAY
“Debates are not about the end but about the means to it.” – Aristotle, The Art of Rhetoric
![Page 15: It’s that time again…](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815d2c550346895dcb2552/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
End Goal…1. Develop, through the sustained research of a
specific topic, an informed opinion on a relevant contemporary issue
2. Construct a substantiated written argument that adheres to a high quality of persuasive writing skills
3. Design and present an impactful presentation incorporating a high end multimedia component

Over the next four weeks, students will be conducting a highly organized research project. Instruction on research techniques, source evaluation, systematic note-taking, as well as the writing process will occur. Students will be expected to maintain a research journal throughout the unit as they narrow and select a topic and conduct research on multiple related perspectives. In the end, students will draft and revise a 1000-1500 word persuasive essay establishing and defending a position on their topic.
We will begin this week with a lesson on database research. Students should begin conducting preliminary research and writing down possible topics.

What is a thesis statement?

makes a claim that others might dispute. is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph
that presents your argument to the reader. The rest of the paper, the body of the essay, gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic of your interpretation
(see http://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/thesis.html fore more details.)
