INQUIRY 3: RESEARCHING ARGUMENTS ON PUBLIC CONTROVERSY
for this writing project, we were asked to research a current public controversy that is being covered in the media. For inquiry 3A, we used both scholarly and popular sources to understand various stances/ or arguments on the issue. In inquiry 3B, we further advanced our own argument with writing letters to certain audiences pertaining to our topic.
