Part One: After exploring the library databases and reviewing your brainstorming activity, select two potential issues that are related to your career or degree. Again, ensure that you are selecting and writing about two different issues. Each section should be written as a fully developed, 5-8 sentence paragraph.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Identify two arguable sides about your first issue related to your Criminal Justice degree field.
2. Identity two arguable sides about your second issue related to your Criminal Justice degree field.

Part Two: After exploring both sides of each issue, choose one to write about in your final persuasive essay.

Specifically, you must also address the following rubric criteria:

1. Choose a side that you might argue.
2. Identify why your topic would be meaningful to your audience (people connected to your career or degree field).
