Issue Exploration
Objectives:
• To understand multiple perspectives on an issue or question
• To summarize a debate, including multiple, conflicting viewpoints
• To analyze multiple viewpoints in an attempt to understand them
• To learn how to conduct research, including evaluating sources
• To begin to learn MLA citation
First Draft:
For the issue you have been researching post a 3 page overview of the issue and 4 different viewpoints. Use the New York Times Room for Debate Blog (www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate) as a model.
