Argumentative Essay on Obesity and Food Deserts
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a well-structured argumentative essay that argues how food deserts significantly contribute to obesity rates. The essay should be supported by credible scientific studies and research papers.
Required Length and Format: 1400-1600 words
Purpose: To engage in the genre of an argument and use tools in Weebly or Adobe Spark to create a multimodal argument.
Audience: A well-read internet audience
Background: For your second major project, you will write a multimodal argument on Weebly or Adobe Spark on an idea relating to issues of food culture and consider the larger implications of it. This could be the same idea you wrote your narrative on or not. The specific prompt is in the box below.
PROMPT: After doing the readings and watching videos on food issues around us, choose a topic that speaks to you most. This could be something from the readings or not. Take a position/stand on the issue and write a multimodal argument (using Weebly or Adobe Spark) in which you argue your position and support your reasoning with evidence from secondary sources.
In your argument, you will first form an claim, which will be your thesis. Then, you will support this thesis with explanations and evidence. We will be engaging in prewriting activities, workshopping, conferencing, and receiving peer feedback before you submit your final draft.
A review: Arguments can take many shapes or forms. Your academic argument should have most of the following characteristics (these are also roughly the criteria you will be evaluated on for the most part):
· An explicit position
· A response to what others have said or done (ethos)
· Appropriate background information
· A clear indication of why the topic matters
· Good reasons and evidence (logos)
· Attention to more than one point of view
· An authoritative tone
· An appeal to readers’ values
Key Requirements:
- Strong understanding of the relationship between food access and obesity
- Ability to source, analyze and incorporate scientific studies and research papers
- Exceptional writing skills with a knack for persuasive writing
- Experience in academic writing, particularly in the field of public health or sociology, will be an advantage
