Assessment activity #3

With the argumentative research paper, I didn't feel like there were boundaries, so much as an audience that I wanted to persuade. Some might say that this is a boundary, but within this genre it's fairly easy to connect fact, opinion, and argument or persuasion as long as you have a topic that can be argued. This genre required me to do some serious book/library research. The project was a lot easier using academic journals and informative texts since they were so readily available. I went much farther into the background of highways so that I could establish a solid base on top of which I could build my arguments.
