Welcome! This research guide was created for students in Prof. Packer's Eng. 101 class. This guide is a customized resource for this assignment.
Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay based on your thesis statement or research question on a topic that focuses on a contemporary issue. Explain why you chose this topic and why you believe it is important. Your essay should be supported by evidence from your research article.
You will need to cite your source using MLA 9 formatting using both in-text citations and a Works Cited page.
