Your writing prompt · building and defending an argument
Build a short argument in five to seven sentences: take a position you actually hold, about school, sports, technology, or your town, and defend it. State your premise, offer the evidence, and draw your inference. Use at least four of this unit's words: inference, premise, scrutinize, contemplate, empirical, dubious, paradoxically, judiciously. Show us the reasoning, not just the opinion.
We are not after the right position. We are after reasoning you can defend.
Aim for about 6 sentences.
