Animal Cruelty Argumentative Essay
Now that we have read “Shooting an Elephant” and watched 12 Angry Men, you are going to write an argumentative essay of five full typed pages that answers an ethical question about one of those pieces. If you are already intimidated by trying to determine the question, just think about the primary conflict and the characters’ responses. If your brain seizes, you may ask me for guidance;-) In your essay, you must accomplish the following:
· Ethical Choices: Student thoroughly discusses at least two sides of an ethical choice to be made.
· Decision Making: Student states a position on the issue based on at least three points and offers an opposing view and counterargument supported with primary and secondary database sources.
· Consequences: Student identifies consequences and demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the scope, complexity, and/or magnitude of the consequences.
