Audience: Includes more mainstream readers, not just academic ones. Write for readers who are interested in the use of solitary confinement in the US but may not know much about it. Purpose: Persuade your reader to share your opinion about solitary confinement. Provide an introduction that explains why the reader should care about this debate. Why are people debating whether solitary confinement should continue to be used as part of the criminal justice system? Show your reader where you stand on this important issue. What’s your angle? What kind of claim do you want to make about solitary confinement? Should it be restricted, outlawed entirely, used more freely? (This is your thesis.) You need reasons, evidence, examples, and explanation (logos) to support your claim and convince your reader. Provide at least TWO different points of support for your argument. Each will require exploration of the supporting evidence to be convincing for your reader. Use the Obama article (click here to read) for at least one of the points of support for your argument. Be sure to give the reader some context for why the article was written and what the authors viewpoint is before you introduce the evidence. Use a quote from the article or paraphrase one of the authors points. Either way, use appropriate in text citation. The second point of support can come from your own reasoning, additional sources, or even personal experience. The use of first person is acceptable in this genre. Include a conclusion that “does” something. Don’t summarize things you’ve already told your reader in the commentary. Instead take a step back to reflect on the issue one more time and offer some ideas about what you think should be done. What action do you think prisons, government, or even your reader should take? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/barack-obama-why-we-must-rethink-solitary-confinement/
