Homework 2, Part 9 of 9

(Continuing from the questions you started on part 2 of this assignment)

5) In this question, you will be taking a sentence from Weitzer (see below) as your claim and then using quotes that you identify from Weitzer as support for that claim.

On p. 6 of the reading for today, Weitzer writes:

What we have, in sum, is a very mixed picture--a lucrative industry that employs many people and attracts numerous customers but is regarded by many people as immoral or harmful and in need of either stricter control or complete elimination.

We will use a slightly shorter version of that sentence for the claim of the sentence you are going to write in claim/evidence/warrant format.

(CL) Sex work is simultaneously a lucrative industry that employs many people and attracts numerous customers but is regarded by many people as immoral or harmful and in need of either stricter control or complete elimination.

 

Now, you will complete the paragraph using quotations from pp. 1-7 of the text.

The format of your paragraph will be:

CLAIM (given above)

EVIDENCE 1 (In the form of an integrated direct quotation from pp. 1-7 of the text--see below for details)

WARRANT 1 (that connects your quote above to the claim)

EVIDENCE 2 (In the form of an integrated direct quotation from pp. 1-7 of the text--see below for details)

WARRANT 2 (that connects your quote above to the claim)

EVIDENCE 3(In the form of an integrated direct quotation from pp. 1-7 of the text--see below for details)

WARRANT 3(that connects your quote above to the claim)

When writing your paragraph, be sure that you:

 

1) place a (CL) before your claim, an (EV) before your evidence, and a (WA) before your warrant.

(-5% IF YOU DO NOT)

2) reduce your direct quotation to 10 or fewer words (see here if you do not know how to do this)

(-5% IF YOU DO NOT)

3) integrate your direct quotations using either METHOD 3 OR METHOD 4 FROM THE EXPLANATION OF HOW TO INTEGRATE QUOTATIONS

(-10% IF YOU DO NOT)

4) punctuate the quotation properly
(-5% IF YOU DO NOT)
