Instructions:
This essay is structured around stages of your thought process and how it evolves as you reflect on how each source illuminates the issue question for your research. Please use this organization.
In this essay, you will describe the problem or controversy your issue question addresses, consider several different perspectives or “answers” to your issue question, and, based on an objective-as-possible examination of the evidence, formulate your own answer to your issue question.

Paragraph within the Essay
Step 1
Describe the context of your issue question
What is the problem your issue question addresses? Why is it important? What are some of the causes of the problem? What groups, individuals, and institutions are involved in or affected by the problem? What solutions have been proposed or tried?
Step 2
Your starting point
What was your original issue question? What first interested you in this question, and what aspects of your personal context have bearing on the problem? (See Unit 1 to review the definition of “personal context.”) When you started, what answer did you expect to find? Where did you look to get information?
Step 3
Exploration of your evidence in multiple para
Choose just three of the sources you think you will use for your essay. Each one should offer a different point of view or perspective on your issue question; in other words, your sources should not agree, although their perspectives may overlap. Be sure your sources are substantial enough to give you enough to write about—this section of the essay should be the longest and most detailed, and you will probably need multiple paragraphs to discuss each source. For each of your three sources, do the following:
Introduce your source. In doing so, include the author’s full name, the full title, and relevant background information about the author and publication. Full citation information will go on the Works Cited page.
Explain why you chose to include this source in your exploratory essay. What does each source see as the main problem? What information or perspective does the source provide that others don’t? What evidence in the source stands out for you? (This part is a summary, but one that focuses on the points that seem most important to your issue question. Unlike in the Annotated Bibliography, you’re not just writing an objective summary.)
Evaluate the source’s claims. What would happen if the source’s ideas were put into place? Are any opposing viewpoints addressed?
Compare the perspective in this source to the one you expressed in Step 2. Quote, summarize, or paraphrase (with correct in-text citations!) both the pieces of evidence that support your point of view and those that do not. What are the source’s best points? Some examples of good ways to start each part of your paragraph are “[Author] agrees with me that ______________, but disagrees about ______________,” “[Author says _________________, but does not consider _____________,” or “[Author] assumes that ___________________.” If you found any logical fallacies in the source, explain them.
Reflect on the source. How did the source lead you to think differently about the issue question for your essay, or your answer to it? How has the source helped you with your thinking on the topic?
Step 4
Reach a conclusion
Looking at your own initial position and considering the three sources you explored in your essay, what conclusions have you reached about your issue question? A good sentence structure for framing this discussion can be something like “I initially believed ____________; and others believe _______________. The way I now look at the question is ________________.” If you have any doubts about your position or evidence, discuss them honestly and include any new information questions you feel would shed light on your issue question.
