Assignment Introduction

Now that you have completed the introduction draft of your report, you are ready to outline the two sides/perspectives section. In the introduction, you briefly mentioned the two possible perspectives for your research question. In this section, you will more fully discuss each perspective and provide reasons (aka “claims”) and evidence in support of them. Do not include your opinion in this section. Strive to remain as objective as possible. 

Note: this is an outline assignment. For the final draft of the report, you will need to write this section in paragraph form.
