WEEK 2 Topic is Keto attached is some of the outline
- An introduction containing a thesis that states the issue, your position on the issue, what the paper will cover, and in what order
- At least 2 paragraphs that each contain a well-supported (and documented) claim or sub-argument that will provide strong support for your fallacy-free argument
- At least 1 paragraph discussing a documented, reasonable counterclaim to your position that needs to be a legitimate claim that someone has actually made as a counter-position on your issue
- At least 1 paragraph offering a reasonable, documented response to that counterclaim

Note: As you do your research, it is permissible to change your sources. Also, because of the recency and relevance of these issues, no sources older than 5 years should be used other than as historical information. Critical thinkers do the research first and then side with the preponderance of evidence. You might want to follow that principle.
