Source Topics
Freshman Composition teaches students the Elements of Argument. Argument is present in our lives every day, and even though the topics change over time, the structure, style, and organization of academic argument writing do not. See the links below for additional help and sources options. The source items listed in this section are not necessarily reliable or credible; however, they are intended to stimulate conversation, argument ideas, and provide a springboard to stimulate your argument on the topic. As you review the source links, keep in mind the aspects for evaluating a verbal or written argument to know how logical the arguments being presented are in the source. Look for logical support, reliable sources to defend the argument, and possible manipulation through fallacies or inductive reasoning to gather ideas for your argument, your rebuttal of counter-arguments, and your evaluation of the overall topic.
