Project 3 Outline

In this blog post, I will be posting my Project 3 Outline and explicating some of the details.

Here is a link to my outline.


Introducing Your Public Argument

I chose the method of connecting my argument to my readers' world views. I plan to make the introduction personal and more emotional than the majority of my piece. Religion, science, and emotion will play a large role in my introduction.


Developing Strong Supporting Paragraphs

  • List down the major supporting arguments:
    • Single moms
    • Health issues
    • Inability to biologically reproduce
    • Statistics
    • Health benefits
    • Psychological benefits
  • List down the major criticisms:
    • Parenting controversies
    • Religious controversies
    • Constitutional rights to parenthood
    • Financial issues
    • Health problems that can occur
    • Psychological wellbeing of offspring
  • Select key support and rebuttal points (each can be a support and a rebuttal depending on the context)
    • Statistics
    • Psychological studies of family dynamics 
    • Religious authority
    • Cultural authority
    • Legal rights 
    • Genetics
  • Write out topic sentences:
    • I'm not sure how many topic sentences I'll need because I'm unsure as to how many body paragraphs I'll be using. Below are two general topic sentences 
    • People who struggle with fertility must be given options for bearing offspring.
    • Sperm donation can benefit our society.
  • Gather evidence:
    • Please refer to my outline.
  • Develop a map of my argument. 
    • Please refer to my coggle. 


Concluding Strategies

I'm not really sure what category my conclusion fits into at the moment. I want to make the audience feel good about themselves and autonomously come to the conclusion that my argument is correct. These two concepts fit the "positive consequences" and the "common ground" strategies. I think my draft will ultimately determine which strategy I use.
