Assignment Instructions
Communication is used to inform, to persuade and to analyze. In this Analytic Writing assignment, this essay will be used to analyze both sides of an issue for a fair and objective presentation.
Review the Week 6 and Week 7 Lesson material on analytical writing. Submit your rough draft in the forum for a peer to complete his or her peer review of your essay. Then, using their feedback, revise your essay as appropriate and submit your final draft of your analytical essay in the Assignments.
In the Week 5 Position Paper essay, you wrote about one side of an issue. In the Week 7 Analytical Writing paper, you will write about two sides of an issue in order to sound less biased and in order for your essay to be more objective and balanced. When we talk about one side of an issue, we sound biased to the reader, so to give our paper a more professional, objective and credible tone to the reader, we will write about both sides of an issue. Do not use the same topic you used for your Week 5 paper. You have to choose another debatable topic from your field for this paper. To find out more about counterargument and rebuttal paragraphs, Take a look at this counterargument and rebuttal Power Point.
How will my Analytical Writing paper look?
Arming Teachers with Guns in the classroom will not decrease mass school shootings because Reason 1, Reason 2 and Reason 3.
Para 2: Reason 1
Para 3: Reason 2
Para 4:Reason 3
Para 5: Counterargument paragraph (Write about the other side)–Arming teachers with guns is a good idea because arming teachers with guns will help deter mass school shootings because….)
Para 6:Rebuttal paragraph (Go back to your argument that arming teachers is not a good idea and rebut the other side point by point)
Para 7: Conclusion
In your conclusion paragraph, answer this question:
How did having a counterargument and rebuttal paragraph add ethos (credibility) to your paper? How did presenting two sides make your paper credible and objective to your reader? How did writing about both sides of the paper make the paper sound more credible to the reader?
*Use only third person case in your essay. Do not use first person case (I, my, us, we) in your essay. Do not use second person case (you and your) in your essay. Use third person case he/she/they for a more professional tone.*
Wrong sentence and wrong tone (first person case)– I took steroids while playing sports and now I am suffering side effects from the steroids. Using first person case is too personal.
Wrong sentence and wrong tone (second person case)–You should not take steroids while playing sports because you will suffer side effects from the steroids. Using second person case sounds too preachy.
Correct sentence and third person case–Barry Bonds took steroids while playing sports. (Smith, 22)–Third person case sounds more professional.

This essay asks you to take a step back from the position paper. In that piece, you took a stance and supported it but in a more subjective way. In this assignment, you are looking at the topic and argument that you are making with a broader and objective stance. When writing this essay, consider the information you have gathered over the duration of this course on the overarching topic. Using that research and expanding upon it, consider the questions posed in this week’s lesson. What patterns are surfacing about the topic? How does this all fit together? How does it fit into a larger, interdisciplinary topic? You need clearly state your argument and then support that argument with research. In the last assignment, you wrote a position paper where you took a stance and essentially showed one side of a position clearly. In this assignment, you will outline both sides of the argument that you are making.
Your argument should be something that is debatable, that is narrow enough to fit the parameters of the assignment, and supportable by research. You are not just summarizing an idea or topic, you are reviewing the research and then formulating an argument based on your findings.
