3. Identify a debatable topic related to your chosen source.
A. The issue I have identified is the need to provide healthcare for adjunct professors.

Some might argue that professors should just “get a better job.” Others might argue
that healthcare should be provided by the federal government rather than employers.
Community colleges might argue that they already are underfunded and cannot afford
to provide healthcare without collapsing.
5. State the purpose of your research.
A. I want to learn more about possible solutions for adjunct professors not having
healthcare access.
B. Research will help me to better understand the current state of the issue and what

MODULE ONE ASSIGNMENT- ENG 190
Overview
As you begin to consider the project due in Module Seven, you will begin the first phase of research for the project. This includes selecting an article, identifying potential topics, drafting a research question, and discussing the purpose of your research. The creation of a research question is crucial, as it drives your research focus. The research question will clarify your topic and ask a question that you will later answer in your persuasive essay. This week’s research question is a draft that you will have the opportunity to revise in future modules.
Directions

Skim the articles in that category and pick an article to read in depth. Then identify topics within that article that you might want to work with for this course. The information under each prompt will guide you through this process.
For this assignment, you will also write a research question and state the purpose of your research. Feel free to use the research question template in the Supporting Materials section as a starting place; however, if you want to craft your research question without the template, you are welcome to do so.

**topic** related to your chosen source. Consider the following in your response:
A. State the specific topic that you identified within your chosen source. This will become your focus for your persuasive essay.
B. State two perspectives on your topic and who would be interested in this topic.

B. Explain how your research question identifies a specific aspect of your issue.
C. Explain how your research question aims to solve a problem.
D. Identify the complex arguments and counterarguments that are potential answers to your research question. If you cannot find complex arguments and counterarguments, then you may need to reconsider your research question. If you are stuck, reach out to your instructor.

**purpose** of your research. Consider the following in your response:
A. Explain what you want to learn more about regarding your topic.
