Step 1:  Write an argumentative essay. You choose the topic. Academic, non-academic. You are writing for an audience of your peers. Consider who, amongst your peers, would make the perfect audience for your topic. Write to them, but ensure your topic is school appropriate.

Step 2: Post your argumentative essay HERE by this date/time. Include a title that lets the reader know what they’re getting into.

Step 3: When it is made available, choose one of your peer’s essays from THIS document. Read it carefully and outline their LOR.

Step 4: Brainstorm! What could you say in response to their argument? Keep in mind, you’ll be writing an argument in response, but it MUST say something NEW and FRESH beyond responding to their assertions. Take what they said, consider it, and create a NEW argument. This is synthesis.

Step 5:  Write an argumentative essay in response to your peer’s essay. Your new argument should synthesize the points made in your peer’s essay and say something NEW. To do this, you’ll need to include at least 3 direct quotations from their essay. Use MLA in-text citations.

Step 6:  Create ONE document with your essay followed by your peer’s essay (keep their heading!). Link that document HERE and include both essay titles (your new essay also needs a title that lets the reader know what they’re getting into).

Step 7: When it is made available, choose a pair of essays from THIS document.You will now write your final argumentative/synthesis essay, except now there is an additional essay in the conversation which must also be considered and addressed. Carefully read BOTH essays, outline the LOR and consider how you might respond– in light of what BOTH essays have to say, what can you add that is NEW?
