This particular assignment is designed to improve your writing and critical
thinking skills. In addition, the opinion piece provides you with the
opportunity to conduct a critical analysis about an issue that is currently
impacting our government and your specific race, ethnic, gender, sexual
orientation, age, disability, or religious group—i.e. abortion, legalization of
marijuana, voting rights, criminal justice reform, gun control, immigration
reform, student loan debt, LGBTQ+ rights, gentrification, etc. The
aforementioned list is just a sample list of topics. You are free to choose a
topic from the list provided or select another topic not mentioned here.
Your opinion piece should be factual and speak from your prospective and
be a minimum of 1,000 words, but no more than 1,500 words. A minimum
of 5 sources are required and they should be hyperlinked in the text of
your opinion piece (a works cited page is not needed).
A list of reputable sites where you can find examples of opinion pieces that
may also be used as references for your own opinion piece will be provided
on the course website. Should you have any questions about how to craft
your own opinion piece, do not hesitate the contact the professor.
