17 Feb The negative effect that social media has on teens and youth
Order Instructions
This assignment will add the two remaining parts of the argumentative essay that you have been developing over the previous units. Make sure it is in APA format (i.e., double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, and APA-style in-text citations and References page).
Write the counter-argument paragraph. Paraphrase or quote evidence from sources with in-text citations to support your counter-argument. A counter-argument paragraph is important because it presents a possible argument against your thesis. There are two reasons why this important: (1) It gives you a chance to respond to a possible objection by your readers before they finish reading your essay, and (2) It shows that you considered both sides of the argument. Both of these reasons make your essay stronger. For example, if your thesis statement indicates that students do not need to learn about racism because they are familiar with it, then a counter-argument paragraph might contain information about what causes racism because being familiar with racism is not the same as what causes it.
Write the conclusion (restate your claim, and summarize the evidence).
Update your References page to ensure that you have listed all of the sources that you cited in your paper so far (you must have a minimum of 3), using proper APA format (for in-text citations and the corresponding References page).
Submit these 2 new paragraphs and the updated References page for this assignment (you will assemble and submit the full paper for Unit 10).
