The first component of the post-test entails planning, drafting and revising a 3-4 page formal researched essay in response to the following prompt:
Planning/Prewriting
After rereading/reviewing Units 1-3, particularly prior lessons on critical thinking and points-of-view, consider and ultimately select a single question in
order to research, organize and draft your own fact-finding report. Primarily, a fact-finding report focuses upon a single, researchable question or
controversy in order to understand competing answers espoused from opposing viewpoints. More specifically, fact-finding reports seek to fairly and
objectively compare alternative answers to a common question, not to endorse one perspective's "facts" over others and certainly not to argue in
support of any answer/position, in particular. As well, this 3-5 page research essay should enlist MLA formatting and correctly cite claims/evidence
from at least three reliable academic sources.
