Definition Argument Essay Assignment
Goal Write a 1,500-1,750-word essay using five to seven academic resources in which you argue that a contested “case” fits (or does not fit) within a given category. Follow the directions of your instructor as to what topics are acceptable.
Directions
Follow these steps when composing your essay:
1.Start by selecting a controversial or contested definitional case.
2.Decide what category you think your case belongs in, with the understanding that others may disagree with you about the definition of your category, and/or whether your chosen case matches your category.
3.In the opening of your essay, introduce the case you will examine and pose your definition question. Do not simply summarize here. Instead, introduce the issue and offer context.
4.To support your argument, define the boundaries of your category (criteria) by using a commonly used definition or by developing your own extended definition. Defining your boundaries simply means naming the criteria by which you will discuss your chosen case.
5.In the second part of your argument (the match), show how your case meets (or does not meet) your definition criteria. Perhaps by comparing or sizing up your controversial case to other cases can help you to develop your argument.
