Directions
Imagine your issue either as a puzzle or as a disagreement. If your issue is like a puzzle that needs to be put
together, your task will be to create a convincing case for an audience that does not have an answer to your
cause and effect question already in mind. If your issue is like a disagreement that needs to be resolved, your
argument must be overtly persuasive because your goal will be to change your audience’s views.
Be sure to examine alternative hypotheses or opposing views and explain your reasons for rejecting them.
