The problem or issue is: The use of technology is changing society

• Describe how you interact with the problem or issue on which you'll be taking a stance. Perhaps tell a personal story. How does this problem or issue affect you?
• Think about who needs to accept your point of view, or at least understand that your position is a valid and acceptable point of view. This will be your audience.
• Describe how your audience interacts with this problem or issue. How does it affect your audience in a slightly different or similar way?
• Think about what kind of rhetorical appeal—ethos, pathos, logos—might move your audience to accept your point of view. Using the appeal that might resonate best with your audience, tell them why they should accept your point of view.
• Craft a thesis statement. This is your central claim—your position. Think of your best reason for your position. It might be helpful if you use this skeleton for your thesis statement: "(Position) because (good reason)."
