Consult resources other than the course textbook and your reading assignments. Examples of resources include other textbooks, journal articles, and reputable websites.

Describe the background and basic issue of your chosen topic.
Describe the basic argument of opposing viewpoints.
Identify the strengths and weaknesses of both views.
Choose which view you agree with. (Only in the conclusion)
Explain why you agree with that view.
Incorporate the information you learned about your chosen topic from this course, but don’t limit your discussion to the textbook and study guide. Take advantage of external resources to provide an in-depth, comprehensive report.
