Goal and Purpose
The goal of this assignment is for you to apply all the knowledge and information about the Toulmin Argument style essay and the book Eating Animals. In addition, you should use the grammar feedback generated automatically on Module 3.17.1.
In this final part, you will be able to upload your final paper draft for a grade. Please make sure that you review this Toulmin Arguments Student Sample Download Toulmin Arguments Student Sampleto see what your essay should look like. You should also review Module 3.15: Toulmin Arguments Lecture Presentation to help you structure your final draft.
Directions
First, you already used the Writing Assignment 3 Template (WA3) to develop your ideas for this Toulmin Argument Method Essay. I have copied the instructions from the template below for your reference. These are the same instructions, so please do not panic or think that you have to complete another form. This is the culmination of your third writing assignment. If you were not able to complete the first part, Module 3.17: Writing Assignment 3, then you need to ensure that you complete that part first in order to correctly submit your final draft of this assignment.
Directions: Read the instructions below. You should have completed Steps 1 and 2 of the writing process (brainstorming and organizing) in the previous module, and you have submitted your First Draft. Now, you will upload the Final Draft of your argument essay on this Canvas assignment page. For this essay, you will write at least 4.5 full pages minimum, focused on the themes of food consumption awareness, animal rights, pandemics, immigrant rights, human rights, the impacts of culture on our diet  (e.g. Is Thanksgiving “Thanksgiving” without a turkey?”), the consequences of our diet on the environment, and the effects of diet on our health based on the stories and information presented in Eating Animals and other sources.
Answer the prompt:
In the novel, Eating Animals, you learned a lot about the different issues we face when meat and other animal products are introduced in our daily diet. In an interview, the author said, “If we all ate one less meal with meat, it would equate to removing 5 million polluting cars from the roads.”
For this next essay, make an argument in favor or against the idea of living as a vegetarian or switching to a vegetarian diet using the Rogerian style of argumentation.
Your goal for this assignment is to convince the reader of your point of view regarding this very important matter in our society. The book, TED Talk, and other sources have a lot of information that can influence your ideas and are very useful to support them. Please make sure that you follow the recommendations below and that you follow the Toulmin Argument writing style in this assignment.
Be sure the other sources are credible and of different types (see Module 3.18 Eating Animals Resources).

Step 1: Revise the Informative Essay
All writers revise their work as part of the writing process. For Touchstone 3, submit a revised version of your Touchstone 2.2 informative essay. The process of revising involves “re-thinking” your essay. Your revision should reflect your attention to the following:
Rhetorical situation
Focus
Organization
Flow
Style
Clarity
As you review the grader’s suggestions and feedback of your draft, evaluate how your essay can be improved in each of the areas above. Focus your attention on the areas that would benefit most from revision. You can add, delete, or move text as you revise your essay.
Note the following revision guidelines:
Do not draft a new essay on a new topic. You must revise your Touchstone 2.2 draft using the feedback provided.
Allow time between drafts so that you can see your original work from a new perspective.
Revision is different from editing and proofreading; however, be sure to edit and proofread your revised essay before you submit it.
BIG IDEA
Revise your Touchstone 2.2 essay using the revision strategies you learned in Unit 3. This revision should reflect significant changes from your first draft, and should incorporate the feedback you received on Touchstone 2.2.
Step 2. Think About Your Writing
Include answers to all of the following reflection questions below your completed revision.
How much time did you spend revising your draft? Which revision strategies did you use, and which of them worked best for you? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: A good revision takes time. This is your opportunity to re-think, rearrange, and re-evaluate your writing. Which revision strategies did you use? Do you still agree with your thesis? Do you believe that your evidence supports your thesis and that you have met the requirements of the assignment?
How did the revision process improve your essay? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Compare your draft to your revision. Have you added relevant details or removed irrelevant ones? Have you changed the order of details or paragraphs? Have you added transitions for better flow? In which ways is your revision better than your draft?
What did you learn about your writing process or yourself as a writer? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Think about the entire process of drafting and revising this essay. Did any part of the process surprise you or reveal something unexpected?
Step 3. Review Rubric and Checklist
Your essay and reflection will be scored according to the Informative Rubric, which considers your revision and edits, effectiveness in addressing the writing prompt for either the advertisement image analysis essay OR the extended definition essay, the working thesis, organization, style and tone, focus, conventions and proofreading, and your responses to the “Think About Your Writing” questions.
