In Module/Week 8, you will write a 1200-word (4–5-page) essay using the Toulmin Model argument in response to one of the following prompts:

 

  • What specific action(s) should Christians take regarding the environment and its preservation or restoration?

   

As you have done before, be sure to follow the Writing Processes guidelines: gather all of your information, plan the direction of your essay, and organize your ideas by developing a 1-page thesis statement and outline for your essay. Format the thesis statement and the outline in a single Word document using current MLA, APA, or Turabian style (whichever corresponds to your degree program). Draft your essay and submit your thesis, outline, and draft by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 7 for instructor feedback.

   

For this assignment, be sure to:

 

  • Follow the appropriate formatting style for your degree program (MLA, APA, or Turabian).
  • Use at least 5 external sources (including relevant readings in your textbook and/or any other sources you might find).
  • Use a combination of quotes, summaries, and paraphrases.
  • Use signal phrases and proper in-text citations.
  • Include a References/Works Cited page, which lists all sources you used, including any images. Note: Any images you might use in your essay to support your argument must not take up more than 1/3 of a page (with 1″ margins), and they will not count in the total page count for the assignment.
  • Conduct your own research. Some website resources are listed in the Reading and Study folder; however, they are just a start.
  • Use the Grading Rubric, Thesis, Outline, and Draft suggestions from your instructor, and Proofreading Checklist (provided below) to revise your essay.
  • Include your thesis statement and outline on a separate page at the end of the document.
  • Type your degree program and which style of writing you are using (MLA, APA, or Turabian) on the Title Page and in the “Submission Title” field of the SafeAssign link in the module so that your instructor can grade your essay accordingly.

 

Be sure to cite fully all quotations, summaries, paraphrases, and images. If you fail to give credit for outside material, it will be regarded as plagiarism and will result in a “0” on your essay and possibly course failure.

   

Please Note: This assignment must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8 and must include a title page, essay itself, a works cited/references page of any primary or secondary texts cited in the essay, followed by the thesis/outline page.

Obviously, the focus of the week will be on the various stages of reach as I want to see each of you independently demonstrate knowledge of the principles of argument and correctly integrate sources in your final essay. As you were introduced to the Toulmin Model argument last week, I encourage you to make sure your essay incorporates this model. An effective argumentative essay is not one that only presents an argument and gives sources to support his or her thesis but also gives the other side to the argument and then refutes it with additional sources.  I hope these lessons this week will give you a better understanding of this practice.  FINALLY,  BE AWARE OF THE FIVE EXTERNAL SOURCES MINIMUM! I ask you to refer back to the email I sent you this week regarding how to obtain credible sources from Liberty’s online library datatbase of scholarly journals.

   

For this assignment, you must write a Toulmin Model argument using outside research and include at least 5 external sources (including relevant readings in your textbook and any other sources you might find). You may use a combination of quotes, summaries, and paraphrases, as you see fit. Your Works Cited page should list all sources you use, including any images. Some website resources are listed below for your use; however, they are just a start. You should plan to conduct your own research as well.

 

For this assignment you are asked to draft a 1000-1250 word  (3-4 page) Toulmin Model argument in response to ONE of the following prompts:

  

1. What specific action(s) should Christians take regarding the environment and its preservation or restoration?

 

this week gives you the option to turn in a rough draft or outline and thesis….this will not be graded, but I will give you feedback.  I hope that each of you will take advantage of this(at the very least turn in your thesis statement)…be sure to ask if you have any questions or concern

Proofreading Checklist

Part 1:

Read through your paper and check the appropriate boxes on the chart below. If any area of your paper needs revision, make sure you correct it before submitting your final essay. One of the best ways to proofread your writing is to read it backward to forward, sentence-by-sentence. This helps you to see words and ideas you may have missed. Another very successful tool for proofreading is to read your work out loud to someone else. Students often think that handing their paper to someone and asking them to read it is the same thing, but it isn’t. Instead, ask them to listen while you read your own words. You will immediately hear what you missed or want to improve in your writing.
