Purpose The purpose of work  2 is to construct a Rogerian Argument. Students will use research skills and rhetorical analysis to investigate conflicting viewpoints on an issue with state or national impact.

Writing Prompt & Rhetorical Situation Use the same topic you wrote about for your Classical Argument work  With an objective mindset, your assignment is to consider the goals and values of at least two viewpoints on the topic by conducting further research. Your research should focus on the state- or national-level impact of the issue. This activity will help you develop a holistic understanding of the issue and the source of the conflict between viewpoints. Your goal in the work is to objectively describe multiple viewpoints on the topic, then to present a feasible solution or compromise that helps to reduce the conflict and moves towards a resolution of the issue.

For this activity, you will gather research sources for the Rogerian Argument work and modify the annotated bibliography you created for Unit 1. Use the OCCC library and choose reliable, academic sources. For research help, start with the OCCC library videos located on the Great Resources page. Your instructor and the OCCC librarians can help you as well. 

For the Rogerian Argument work and this bibliography assignment, use the same topic you used for your Classical Argument work; however, expand the focus of your research in two ways:

1. to discover and communicate the broader context of your issue; for example, its state or national impact;
2. to educate yourself about alternate/opposite perspectives on the issue.

You may continue to use any sources from your existing Annotated Bibliography that is still useful to you; however, you must end up with a minimum of four reliable sources that provide college-level and/or academic information for you to use in this work

Add the newly found sources to your Annotated Bibliography. Keep all of the sources in alphabetical order. Identify the new sources using a new color of the text.

Instructions:

1. The topic used for your Classical Argument work is the same topic you will use for the Rogerian Argument work Once you are familiar with the goal of a Rogerian Argument and the Rogerian Argument outline, you will need to do additional research to prepare to write this work, starting with modifying your annotated bibliography.
2. Re-examine your existing annotated bibliography and decide where you need to do more research to fill in the gaps in your knowledge of the issue on the state/national level and to have a balance of evidence supporting both sides of the issue as well as your proposed compromise. 
3. Use the OCCC library databases to gather as many additional sources as you will need, keeping in mind that this work requires a minimum of 4 sources and that you can continue to use any of your existing sources that remain useful for this work Within the library's website, the "Gale: Opposing Viewpoints" database is a good place to start for Rogerian argument research materials. Note that its purpose is to provide multiple viewpoints on each topic, which is the goal of your research.
4. Add your new sources to the bibliography, completing the citations and annotations in the same way you did when you first compiled your bibliography in Unit 1.
