School Lunch Shaming

An essay taking a stand and making arguments in support of a view or course of action on the issue, problem, or controversy developed in Writing Project 3.
Clearly focused, debatable, and supportable thesis statement advocating your view on the problem or controversy

Use of evidence from sources; at least 10 quotations and/or paraphrases, clearly discernible from each other and from the writer’s voice and cited using correct in-text citations
At least one counterargument and rebuttal, in which you accurately present at least one viewpoint or claim in opposition to your stance and effectively refute that claim, using sound reasoning and valid evidence
Use of at least 5 relevant and highly credible sources, at least 3 of which come from the Ivy Tech Library databases. (No Print Sources.)
