So we are still working on the same article (The Dumbest Idea, by Thomas Sowell), but this time it’s a response essay.
The requested outline is:
1. Background information
2. Summary of the article
3. Thesis of the response
4. Actual response
5. Conclusion
The total pages required is 4 pages, but we already have the background information and summary from the first paper which equals to a page. So you only need 3 pages to continue working on the rest of the essay.
* There should be at least 1 rebuttal (disagreement) and 1 concession (agreement).
* Should use the language of “They say, I say”, and in the case of concession provide extra evidence.
I attached a more detailed guidelines from the book, you should keep these in mind when writing the paper. Also, I attached an example of a response essay the instructor used.
I also attached the first page of the essay (Background information and summary), continue adding the rest of the paper to that.
