Write an argumentative essay on child labor and consumerism with an arguable thesis with supporting evidence. For this essay, conduct research to find at least four reliable sources related to this issue. After reviewing these sources, construct an argument that takes a stance about the issue chosen. Using persuasive strategies to convince the reader, this writing should combine personal experience and knowledge with what you have learned from your research to explain why your stance on this issue should be prioritized. Do you agree or disagree with what others have said on your topic? Why and how? Additionally, your essay must address at least one counterargument to the stance you have taken. Accompanying the argumentative essay, write a self-reflective cover letter to my professor describing your drafting, writing, and revision process: how did you select your topic, how and why did you select the sources you chose, and what is your overall goal for this assignment. What was easiest and most difficult for you? How might this writing help you in your other and future classes?
