Editorializing

We're finishing up our lessons on editorials with one last task: Creating your own. There are two options for you to write your editorial about:
  1. You can write an editorial about whatever YOU are passionate about... Much like the political cartoon from last week, the topic is up to you.
  2. You can write an editorial about the issues listed below (ISIS, Roger Goodell, Immigration). There are three examples of each issue, to help you get a feeling for the arguments and strategies used in the editorials.
Whichever editorial you choose, remember: 
  • Follow the structure that was discussed in class. 
  • If you need additional information on an argument, feel free to search the web. 
  • Check your notebooks for any other help that you may need. 
Editorial Length:

Introduction: 5-6 sentences
Thesis: 1 sentence
Concession: 1-2 sentences
Counter Concession: 2-3 sentences
Argument One: Paragraph (4-6 sentences)
Argument Two: Paragraph (4-6 sentences)
Argument Three: Paragraph (4-6 sentences)
Thesis Restatement: 1-2 sentences
Conclusion: 2-3 sentences

Your editorial must have all of the listed parts, be no less than 6 paragraphs, and include no less than 24 sentences to receive
full credit!
