Philosophy 1600, Critical Thinking and Composition
WRITING ASSIGNMENT 2
For this assignment, you need to write a letter to someone who you’re close to (a friend, a parent, a
sibling, or whoever you want). In your letter, you need to produce an original positive argument for
a specific conclusion. More specifically, you should argue in your letter for some thesis/conclusion
that you think is true and important. You can pick any thesis that you want to argue for. You
should pick something that you’re interested in and that you feel passionately about.
Here are some examples of things you could argue for in your letter: you could argue that abortion
is wrong; you could argue that abortion is not wrong; you could argue that the death penalty is
wrong; you could argue that the death penalty is not wrong; you could argue that we should have
tighter gun-control laws; you could argue that we shouldn’t have tighter gun-control laws. These
are all moral topics. But you don’t have to pick a moral topic. You can write on anything. For
instance, you could argue that action movies are better than comedy movies, or that the Lakers are
better than the Clippers. It doesn’t matter. The main thing is that you should pick a
thesis/conclusion that you believe, and that you’re interested in, and for which you think you can
construct a good argument.
If you want to, you can provide multiple arguments for your conclusion in your letter; or if you’d
rather, you can develop a single argument. It’s up to you.
In writing your letter, you should use and cite at least one outside source. This can be any source
that you want to use–a book, or an essay, or a website, or whatever–as long as you think that it’s a
reputable, reliable source. Also, you can use the outside source in whatever way that you want to.
For example, you might just want to cite the source to back up a factual claim you are making; for
instance, if you’re arguing that abortion is wrong, you could cite some reliable source that provides
factual information about abortion statistics. Or if you’d rather, you can cite a work that develops
an argument for or against the thesis that you’re arguing for. Again, you can use the source in
whatever way you see fit. Moreover, you can decide whether you are going to quote the outside
source, or paraphrase it, or summarize it; this is up to you as well. It is important to remember,
however, that your letter has to do more than just summarize the thoughts of another writer. It is
perfectly OK to rely on the thoughts of others, but there has to be some originality to the argument
in your letter. Finally, you need to cite the work properly; you need to give credit to the author of
the work that you’re citing, and you need to provide your reader with the publication information
for that work. You can cite the information in any format that you like. You can put the
information in a footnote or in a bibliography at the end of your letter. As long as you make the
information clear to your reader, the format doesn’t matter.
Your letter should be two-to-three page long, and double-spaced. It should be typed and written in
complete, grammatically correct sentences. You should use proper punctuation and spelling. You

can use whatever voice and style feels natural to you, but you need to remember who your reader is-
-namely, the person you’re writing to in your letter–and you need to use a tone that’s appropriate
for that person. Finally, remember to think about how to structure your letter and how to break it
into paragraphs. This is a letter, not an essay, and so you should be using your own personal voice.
But the letter still has to be well-written; and so you should think about structure and paragraphing
and so on.
Also, students are to work alone on this project; no collaboration is permitted.
The most important chapter to read, in order to prepare for this writing assignment, is Chapter 22.
That chapter takes you through the steps that you should follow in order to produce an essay (or
a letter) that provides an original argument for a conclusion.
How to Submit Your Letter: First of all, you should either write the letter in Microsoft Word or, if
you use some other program to write your letter, you should save your file as an rtf file, i.e., a “rich
text format” file. Thus, all letters should either be MS Word files or rtf files. Second, once you’ve
written your letter, you should submit it as follows: Go to the “Writing Assignment 2” section of the
course, click “Writing Assignment 2 File Submission”, and then follow the prompts to upload your
letter.
