The topic or issue for the exploratory essay is “Is keeping a household pet beneficial for your health?”
the exploratory essay should:
-“Focus on one meaningful issue.
– Include a clear tentative thesis or research question at the beginning of your essay.
– Demonstrate information that helps you explain multiple perspectives.
– Integrate sources effectively with appropriate citations.
– Organize your argument in a way that makes a difficult issue easy to understand.
– Use an engaging voice that draws in readers with diverse points of view.
– Produce approximately 1,500 to 1,750 words (5-6 pages) of polished writing” (Sura and Morris 78).
What is the exploratory essay? For this paper, you will pick an issue to write about and examine different perspectives on it. If you want, you can just synthesize the different standpoints and leave the question of which perspective has the most compelling argument open for the reader. Or, as you examine the different perspectives, you can also build an argument about which perspective you think has the most compelling argument. You could also argue for a combination of perspectives on the issue. For example, if you were writing about standardized testing in school, you might argue that it can be useful in some situations but that it has too much bearing on students’ future. Importantly, your paper should address more than one perspective.
For this final-for-now draft, you do not have to hit the 1,500 to 1,750 word count requirement
