Inductive or Deductive Writing
Choose to write about AN ORIGINAL topic in a short 5 paragraph response (300-450 words).

These are sample topics only so please feel free to use your own ideas. Answers previously used in other classes are not to be used.

1. We should eliminate personal income tax in the United States.

2. The internet should be free.

3. Voter fraud is a serious problem.

4. The Magic 8ball toy can accurately predict the future.

If you choose the first or second topic, you will probably find your argument takes an inductive form, and your writing will need to follow an inductive format, building from specific evidence toward the generalization that you may have taken as the topic. This doesn't mean that you save your thesis for the end. Note that the essay based on inductive reasoning by Matthew Miller states its conclusion in the title "Cast Men Out of the Polling Places" and in the first paragraph.

For topics three and four, you will work deductively, starting with the generalization. Try to prove it with specific evidence.

For this response, you are to either affirm or oppose the topic statement; and as you write, you will present the information in what may turn out to be similar to a five-paragraph essay format. You will need an introduction and a conclusion as well as three body paragraphs. At the end of your response, be sure to provide a reference list, containing all the information about your sources that APA style requires.

As you write this short answer, remember to go through all parts of the writing process. In the planning stage, think about whom your audience is and how you should approach them and how you can present a clearly defined topic and a body of succinct, convincing information gleaned from your personal experiences and your sources.
