Case Study Editorial
This is an editorial assignment of 500 to 750 words – with a strict word limit (note your final word count at the end of the submitted work with your name). Your task is to construct an argument around some aspect of a specific case of unsustainable development. This should not be a summary, but an analysis that references course material when appropriate. You may also find the Annual Editions text helpful in developing ideas and providing details that will make your argument more convincing.
The important point is that you construct a political argument about an issue of sustainable development using ample supporting evidence and examples. This is not merely an opinion piece, then; it is a well-reasoned argument that mimics the best of editorial pages in national publications,.As usual grades will be based upon content, structure, and creativity. The A review meets all four criteria below, the B review three, etc. These criteria are:
1. Highlights an effective thesis statement.
2. Supports critical contentions with adequate evidence and specific examples.
3. Shows imagination and creativity in individual insights.
4. Is well-organized, stylistically effective, and mechanically sound.
Additional consideration will be given to those that publish their work. One place to start here is with the New Voices section of the Saturday edition of the Orlando Sentinel, which publishes college students on topics ranging from foreign affairs to school life. Another is your own student newspaper, The Sandspur.
