Paper Outline
1. Title page
• Title of your paper
• Student Name
• Course/section
• Your TA Name
• Date
• Optional: you may include a photo
• This page is not included in the page numbering
2. Introduction
• Attention grabber (e.g., shocking statistic, rhetorical question)
• Background about the topic
• THESIS statement (e.g., In this paper I will present alternative position on the topic of …..”)
3. Perspective 1
• Explain this perspective
• Who are the general proponents of this perspective
• At least 1 peer-reviewed article supporting this perspective
• More than one peer-reviewed reference is fine (and in many cases will likely be the case)
• To explain a perspective, you may use other sources of information that express a position on the topic (e.g., books, magazine articles, websites). Please cite them according to APA style citations. However, these are not considered peer-reviewed
4. Perspective 2 (see Perspective 1)
5. Perspective 3 (optional, see Perspective 1)
6. Conclusion
• Discuss which position is more persuasive and why
• This is not simply your opinion on how you feel about the topic. You need to justify which position (or combination of the positions) is supported best.
• This is an exercise in critical thinking !

7. References
• Use APA style in-text citation (Note: The entire paper is NOT in APA format, only the citation style and references.)
• For each perspective in your paper you must have at least 1 peer-reviewed reference. To show this, please identify one reference for perspective 1 by adding this note after the reference (in bold) “Note: This peer-reviewed reference was used for perspective 1.” Likewise, add a similar note for a peer-reviewed reference used for perspective 2: “Note: This peer-reviewed reference was used for perspective 2.
• This allows the graders to verify that you have included a peer-reviewed article for each perspective.

Select one of these questions to answer:
1. Should animals be used in medical research (e.g., research on cancer)?
2. Should animals be kept in factory farms for human consumption?
3. Should it matter how animals are housed and treated if they are going to be killed for consumption later? (e.g., Should it matter how animals are treated in slaughterhouses before they are killed for consumption? Should it matter how chickens or pigs are kept in factory farms if they are going to be killed for meat? )
4. Should wildlife protection have a higher priority than commercial interests (e.g., Should the pygmy owl have a higher priority than the development of housing and businesses around Tucson? Should wildlife be protected and hinder logging or oil pipelines?)
5. Should animals be kept for human food consumption (i.e., should humans eat other animals)?
6. Should animals be kept in zoos or aquaria?
7. Should animals be used in circuses?
8. Should horses be used for the sport of racing?

10. Should animals be hunted (e.g., commercial big game hunting, state license hunting)?
11. Should animals be used in modern warfare?
