ENG 310 Week 1 Discussion | Assignment Help | Wilmington University
Week 1 Discussion Board:
Selecting your Topic
.
For this course, you
will be writing an argumentative paper based on your major area of study.
Because your paper is argumentative, not informative, look for a topic that
both interests you, and that can form the basis of an argument.
First, review the information in
the Information Literacy Assignment library
module. This is the resource you will also use to complete the quiz this week.
This activity provides background knowledge on choosing a topic, selecting
keywords, and other concepts you'll need to be familiar with moving
forward.
Next, see the ENG 310 LibGuide for a page listing topics and
databases by major. Choose a controversial topic listed under your
program and browse the databases suggested. If you don't see topics listed for
your program, choose one in your College. The Opposing Viewpoints data base is
a good place to get started searching for articles related to your topic. This
database provides Viewpoints, which are opinion-based essays on a variety of
topics. While the viewpoints may not be scholarly, they do help you to
understand the contemporary conversation that is being had around the issue and
can provide you with key terms to use when searching the databases featured in
the LibGuide for your major.
Your initial post must contain the following:
1.
your topic selection
2.
hyperlinks to 3 of the most interesting or
convincing sources on that topic that you found using the recommended
databases.
3.
a short paragraph explaining your thoughts/opinion on the issue why you
chose this topic
4.
3-5 key words or phrases you found in your reading that would be useful
in a database search. These could include synonyms for your topic, or ideas
that you'd like to look into.
Your responses to at least 2 peers must contain the following:
1.
a short quotation from one of their articles that you found interesting
2.
an in-text citation to cite the source
