You will be writing an argumentative research paper. An argumentative research paper is very similar to the panel discussions you did. You will
need to state your stance on a debatable/controversial topic. You cannot choose the same topic you did in the panel discussions, but you can
choose a topic another group did. The point of an argumentative paper is to try and persuade the reader; think back to ethos, pathos and logos as
modes of persuasion. Your chromebooks will be used everyday, make sure to bring them and that they are charged.
