specifically. It shouldappear no later than the end of the introduction paragraph.<br />

2. Part Two – Argument This part of the paper will present the argument for<br />

thethesis. The focus should be on identifying the strongest support for the thesis.Then,<br />

present that support by constructing an argument. This argument, or set ofarguments,<br />

will probably employ both deductive and inductive reasoning.Part Three –<br />

Counter-thesis and counter-argumentIn this part of the paper, the strongest objection<br />

to the thesis is presented alongwith an argument (probably briefer than the argument<br />

in Part Two) for that thesis.Part Four – Response to counter-thesisIn this part of the<br />

paper, you respond to and refute the counter-argument basedon evidence discussed in<br />

Part Three. This response will draw on the earlierargument in Part Two to show that<br />

the original thesis can be defended againstthis objection.The paper will be evaluated<br />

in terms of the grading rubric. The clearer yourpresentation of the debate and the more<br />

specific you can be in that presentation,the stronger the paper will be.The <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Paper</strong><br />
