August Blog #3 --- Writing a brief argument

Ok blogsters! Here comes the second to last blog of August! Hold on to your horses!

Below you will see an example of your third week's assignment. Here are the details:

1) Please go to cnn.com, foxnews.com, signonsandiego.com, or any other mainstream news source and find an article that you find interesting.

2) Write an argument in which you take sides on the issue from your article. Your argument should have the following components:
a) an explicit claim
b) reasons and lines of argument that support your claim
c) a connection to something historical, cultural, or personal

3) IMPORTANT: Link the article INTO your post.

FOR AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I'M ASKING YOU FOR, LOOK BELOW THIS POST AND READ MY SAMPLE ARTICLE AND ARGUMENT.
