As you learned in this unit, a Rogerian argument is one that presents two sides of a debate and argues for a solution that will satisfy both sides. Given the two articles linked below that present opposing sides of an issue (mandatory uniforms in schools), construct your own 2-3 page Rogerian argument essay in which you attempt to arrive at a concrete, workable solution or “middle ground.” <\/span>

The essay should contain the following components:<\/p>\n
\n
\u2752 I) An introduction that presents both sources (i.e., author, title, year of publication, and position in the debate) and your middle ground thesis statement. <\/span>
<\/dd>\n
\u2752 II) A body paragraph that summarizes the pro-uniform rationales. <\/span>
<\/dd>\n
\u2752 III) A body paragraph that summarizes the anti-uniform rationales. <\/span>
<\/dd>\n
\u2752 IV) A body paragraph that critically compares and contrasts both sides of the debate. <\/span>
<\/dd>\n
\u2752 V) A conclusion that further develops your proposed middle ground solution and demonstrates how it satisfies both sides of the debate. <\/span>

<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Article 1: “School Dress Codes and Uniform Policies”<\/a> <\/span>
Article 2: “Dressing Diversity: Politics of Difference and the Case of School Uniforms”<\/a> <\/span>

<\/span>Sample Touchstone<\/a> <\/span>

In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt to redo the Touchstone. <\/span><\/div>\n
