“Arguing” a position.
Paper Instruction: For this assignment, you will be “Arguing” a position. The position you argue must relate to some aspect of adaptation ( my examples: why is Shakespeare always being adapted when nobody under 30 cares? Can movie adaptations save Broadway? Tim Burton is the greatest artist of all time when it comes to adapting films to the screen. ) Your choice for what you want to argue. An argument is not a reflection. You must take a position (stance) and develop it. See my above example: I am making a claim and will persuade my audience to think what I think. You should have several sources (aim for a 3-5). One of them should be scholarly. Your discussion should integrate your own ideas, the ideas of your classmates (class board), and the ideas in the sources you have been reading. Your argument can include various texts but you must include one text that we studied in class (your choice) and include research. All grammar rules apply. Use spell check and proofread.
