 Directions and Grading Criteria

Category	Points	%	Description
Introduction	10	10	Your introduction has a dual purpose: to indicate both the topic and your approach to it (your thesis statement), and to arouse your reader’s interest in what you have to say. One effective way of introducing a topic is to place it in context – to supply a kind of backdrop that will put it in perspective. You should discuss the area into which your topic fits, and then gradually lead into your specific field of discussion (re: your thesis statement).
Summarize the counterclaims	15	15	When you are summarizing opposing arguments, be charitable. Present each argument fairly and objectively, rather than trying to make it look foolish. You want to show that you have seriously considered the many sides of the issue, and that you are not simply attacking or mocking your opponents.
Provide supporting information for counterclaims	15	15	It is usually better to consider one or two serious counterarguments in some depth, rather than to give a long but superficial list of many different counterarguments and replies.
Refute the counterclaims	10	10	Once you have thought up some counterarguments, consider how you will respond to them–will you concede that your opponent has a point but explain why your audience should nonetheless accept your argument? Will you reject the counterargument and explain why it is mistaken? Either way, you will want to leave your reader with a sense that your argument is stronger than opposing arguments.
Give evidence for argument	15	15	Be sure that your reply is consistent with your original argument. If considering a counterargument changes your position, you will need to go back and revise your original argument accordingly.
Your Argument	15	15	A. Assert point #1 of your claims    1. Give your educated and informed opinion    2. Provide support/proof using more than one source (preferably three) B. Assert point #2 of your claims    1. Give your educated and informed opinion    2. Provide support/proof using more than one source (preferably three) C. Assert point #3 of your claims    1. Give your educated and informed opinion    2. Provide support/proof using more than one source (preferably three) *You may have more than 3 overall points to your argument, but you should not have fewer.
Conclusion	10	10	A. Restate your argument B. Provide a plan of action but do not introduce new information The simplest and most basic conclusion is one that restates the thesis in different words and then discusses its implications. Recommendation of what the reader should “do” with the information should be included.
APA format, clarity of writing, & Use of a minimum of six current scholarly references.	10	10	All information taken from another source (even if summarized) appropriately cited in the report (including citation of interview) and listed in references using APA (7th ed.) format
