Directions: In at least 1000 words write the first draft of an essay responding to a Question at Issue you create based on the discussions weve had in class the required readings and/or your own ideas or interests about race and/or class. If you wish you may also write another essay about gender and sexuality as long as you do so in the context of race and/or class. Once you have found a Question at Issue you feel you can respond to make an assertion in the form of an enthymeme and support your argument with evidence and analysis. A counterargument is not a requirement for the essay 2.1 though it will be a requirement for the essay 2.2. Counterarguments must be related to the essay topic and should be refuted in service of strengthening your own position.
