WSC001-Montemurro

Your Assignment

1. Find 10 articles on a topic of social controversy

2. The articles should be recent: ideally they should be written within the last 6 months

a. Note: this may not always be possible, although it is more likely with newspaper than with magazine articles

b. If you are unable to find articles written within the last 6 months, you will need to find ones that are older. If you have any doubts check with Professor Montemurro

3. You will then write an argumentative paper, in which you take a position that you support with evidence from the articles you read
