one of the following topics for your Persuasive Essay.  You 
must pick a side – you either agree or disagree. You will need to add extra details to create your specific, arguable thesis statement. Remember, you are like a lawyer arguing your case, so stick with your viewpoint on the topic  These are topics to choose from:
           
 Choice #1) Remote learning for school harms students.  OR
                              Remote learning for school is beneficial to students.

 total of 4 sources. (You will have 3 sources in agreement with your argument and 1 source against your argument for a counterclaim.)

    —
Two of your sources for the essay are given to you from the provided 3-Sources documents in Materials. See in Materials the documents Sources #1, Sources #2, or Sources #3.
  1) Look at these 3 documents to pick your topic
  2) Next, open up and read the provided sources for your chosen topic
  3) Decide which sources best represent your topic then use these for your essay information including intext and works cited (you only need 2 sources). (Remember – 1 out of the 4 total sources needs to be a counterargument to your claim – so it can come from the provided Sources or from the next site, Research Article Database.)
  
    —
The other two sources will be from the Research Article Database from our Online Library. Watch: How to access the Research Article Database at our MState College Library. See Library Handout from Materials and view this  
ENGL 1101 Library video. Once in the Research Database.
   1) Once in the Research Article Database, the site Academic Search Premier is the best one to use.  Next,  type your topic into the search bar to search through the research articles.
   2) Review the article to see whether you want to use it in your paper. Remember, if you did not pick a counterclaim article in the provided Sources listed in the previous step, then you must have 1 of your 2 sources from Academic Search Premier to be a counterclaim. 
   3) For the articles you want to use, you can download the article or copy/paste sentences to use as notes for creating your outline/paper.  
   4) Academic Search Premier will also automatically create a MLA citation for you.  Click on the word ‘cite’ in the right hand column to create your citation. Make sure you choose MLA for the format.  Have a draft document to copy/paste your research notes and the MLA citations.
