stance essay 15
THE TOPIC OF YOUR STANCE ESSAY IS: MONITORING TODDLER AND TECHNOLOGY.
Draft a thesis statement that presents your stance on the topic you chose.
Defend that position by citing accurate and informative supporting evidence.
Use that evidence to reach your position, which is a debatable statement you are making about your topic.
A stance essay takes a position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence. Consider your topic:
What possible positions/arguments are there?
What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is correct?)
What are your main points?
What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
Do you have enough evidence to effectively support your argument?
For the stance essay, your voice and your perspective should come through. This is just like Assignment 1, except you should maintain a formal tone. For this essay, you will need to support your points with credible sources, which will be provided in the webtext. You should cite three to four (3–4) of the sources provided in the webtext.
I have added the sources ,please do not use outside source. I have attached 3 sources.
As you have already learned, the first step in thinking critically about your assignment is to identify its purpose, or the goal the paper is meant to accomplish. Don’t forget to look for verbs stated in the assignment description that signal concrete steps you must take. Take note of action words—such as analyze, summarize, compare, contrast, explain, investigate, identify, and interpret. These will help you keep in mind exactly what you are being asked to do.
Just like the personal essay, you will write a draft of the stance essay first, then create a revised version.
