From Springboard:

Your assignment is to write an essay of argumentation about the value of a college education. Your essay must be organized as an argument in which you assert a precise claim, support it with reasons and evidence, and acknowledge and refute counterclaims fairly.

You should be sure to:

• Introduce a specific claim in the introduction (you may also choose to introduce the state of the debate)
• Make  a structured argument that includes paragraphs that each attempt to prove a different aspect of your claim.
• Use embedded quotations in a variety of configurations.
• Use accurate punctuation and citation.
• Only directly quote details that meet the 3 Reasons to Quote. Facts and statistics do not need to be directly quoted! But you must give credit to your sources. 
• Clear counterclaims with concessions and refutations.

BE SURE TO CONSIDER THE ARGUMENTS WE HAVE SEEN AS MODELS
CHECK YOUR RUBRIC! (pg 84)
