Assignment Prompt: <\/span><\/b>Reviewing your previous
\nresearch in the prior assignment, identify a primary group of
\nstakeholders–people or groups that have a stake, or personal interest, in your
\nresearch topic and question. Then tailor an argument persuading that group to a
\nposition on the topic that you\u2019ve come to while researching it; this can be
\npersuading them to a position that will affect their actions\/decision or to
\ntake some action or actions based on your research findings. (Hint: think of this as more giving them
\nsome kind of an assignment to do<\/i> with
\nyour research, rather than making some kind of a statement that you hope they
\nwill agree <\/i>with.)<\/b> Note: You can
\nuse ChatGPT to help find an arguable position and\/or to make sure that you
\nfollow the instructions above when creating your argument. I will show you how
\nto do that in class. It will probably be more effective for some topics than
\nothers and there are definitely limitations you\u2019ll encounter if you do this–do
\nnot depend on it as any kind of final solution.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Assignment Description: <\/span><\/b>Now it is time to argue your
\nposition. Drawing on the research you gathered in the previous essay, you will
\npersuade your stakeholder\/stakeholder group with a respectfully and effectively
\ncrafted argument. Because you are speaking to
\n<\/i>your audience, rather than about them, you will demonstrate your
\nunderstanding of the stakeholder and employ persuasive strategies (without
\novertly presenting the research about the stakeholder from previous
\nassignments–you\u2019re just going to use it to figure out how to approach the
\npersuasion). You should also be able to address reasonable counterarguments to
\nyour position that might arise from your target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Audience Assessment (You will have
\nalready done the following if you did your Essay 2 correctly):<\/span><\/b> Use audience analysis as
\nprewriting techniques to help you determine the best approach for your
\nargument. For instance, if you are interested in persuading climate change
\nbelievers to a particular solution for curtailing global warming such as
\nimproving their personal carbon footprint, you don\u2019t need to prove that climate
\nchange is real. If you are going to change someone\u2019s worldview on climate
\nchange not being a real problem, that\u2019s one situation where you would be able
\nto use facts to do so; however, using facts alone probably won\u2019t be enough
\nbecause they likely already have access to those facts and reject them, so you
\nwill also need to be vigilant about debunking their favorite theories that
\nreject accepted climate change science. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Learning and Writing Goals: <\/span><\/b>In this essay, you have the
\nopportunity to practice the argumentation skills necessary to be an effective
\ncitizen. Keep in mind that persuasion is not refuting someone else\u2019s views but
\nrather engaging their beliefs and values to encourage them to consider or adopt
\na different perspective on the issue. We want to see you argue thoughtfully and
\nintentionally, seeking to persuade your audience by addressing the particular
\nlevel of stasis where they will most likely be affected by your argument.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Using quotes\/paraphrasing from essay
\n2 in essay 3:<\/span><\/b>

\nYou MAY use some quotes or paraphrasing from essay 2 in essay 3. You may not
\ncopy over paragraphs whole and intact from essay 2 into essay 3. Naturally, you

\nis expected you will do additional research if needed. Do not use sources in
\nthe Works Cited of essay 3 that are not cited in the body of essay 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cf      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Offer a
\nthesis-driven argument that persuades a particular stakeholder\/stakeholder
\ngroup to change their position on your research issue (this should be a
\nMEANINGFUL change to them because of their stake in the issue) or will motivate
\nthem to some kind of action on your research issue (a problem\/solution
\napproach, a solution in which they can directly participate either through
\npersonal action or motivating someone else to act). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cf      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Incorporate
\nrelevant primary and\/or secondary research to support arguments using in-text citations in MLA format.<\/i> This must include a minimum of seven
\nsources altogether and four peer reviewed sources within those seven<\/b>. These

\ndouble spaced required. <\/span><\/b>If it is longer, you don\u2019t need to get my approval; maximum
