Please complete the following.



Write a sentence outline (500+ words) for an argumentative paper where you explore a contentious local (city, county, or state) issue. Try to choose an issue that affects you directly and try to fairly represent both sides of the issue. Explain the opposing sides as clearly and fairly as possible. Then, explain your position on the issue and concede any limitations or biases with your argument. Finally, persuade the reader that your position on the issue is the stronger and more sensible one. Be sure to define all of your key terms and point out the ambiguous words or phrases used by the opposing side. Also, cite news articles, government reports, and legal decisions to provide the necessary background and context for your argument. Try to make the outline as thorough as possible, because you will be asked to develop it into a fully fledged paper for your midterm assignment in Module 4. 



The assignment must be written in APA Style with references, submitted to SafeAssign and submitted through Blackboard. Outlines that do not meet these three requirements will not be graded. The rubric (grading criteria) for written assignments is available under the Rubrics tab in the course menu.



Note: The sentence outline differs from the traditional outline in that a sentence outline uses complete sentences. If you need to help writing a sentence outline, then please visit http://anthroniche.com/media/pdfs/how_to_create_a_sentence_outline.pdf.
