Major Writing Project 2:  Entering a Conversation (4 pages)

Instructions:  Choose one of the sets of essays listed below (Kelly and Gladstone together make up a “set”; Carr and Thompson together make up a “set,” etc.).  Your essay should include summaries of both of the authors’ arguments (“they say”); your argument should point out how the authors agree and disagree; and your argument should include your own response to the issues the two essays raise (“I say”).  The “I say” is your own argument concerning the issues.

• Make sure you include a naysayer to show possible objections to your own argument, and address the “so what” factor: why does this issue matter?
• Make sure you use proper formatting (MLA or APA style, double-spaced, Times or Times New Roman font, 12 point, paragraphs indented).
• Make sure you have a proper heading at the top of the first page (name, etc.)
• Your paper should be about 4 pages.
• Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
