Restated (rephrased) argument: This is where you restated your argument/topic sentence [again, not a word for word copy, try to make it different]

Closer: this is a lot like you hook, only this quote, statistic, question ends your essay and brings everything to a close.

In class we discussed finding reliable sources, looking for a person, a group, or some other entity that has an authority (expert knowledge) on the topic. While a .org, .gov, or .edu is a good place to start, you really want to make sure you are really look at what the whole website is. Do they have an obvious agenda, do they have an author, and if so what qualifications do they have to talk about this topic? How old the article is could effect how reliable it is, as well as the article or information as a whole. If the article briefly mentions an agreement with your stance but the overall article is disagreeing with you than it isn't supporting your stance and you don't want to use that info.

Each student will be expected to have a minimum of three (3) reliable sources for their essay (this is a requirement). For this assignment I would like each student to locate at least one reliable source for each of their three (3) claims. Fill out the document and submit by Friday 2/21/2020
