FOR: GOOD…after intro paragraph Overall Thesis (Mama Thesis): Drilling for oil in Alaska is a good idea because creates jobs, increases government revenue, and can coexist with the native peoples’ way of life. Paragraph 2: 1 st body paragraph: Reason 1 sentence (baby thesis): One reason why drilling for oil in Alaska is a good idea is because it will create jobs. (it will lower unemployment…will increase employment) Direct quote from document: According to document B (According to Arctic Power), “between 250,000 and 750,000 jobs are estimated to be created by the development of the coastal plain.” Argument: This is important because it will help the economy. When people have jobs they tend to spend more money, this in turn, will stimulate the economy. When employment is low, the economy tends to suffer. When people do not have money to spend, they often only spend what they have on the essentials, such as food, water, and shelter.

Against: Bad…after intro paragraph Overall Thesis (Mama Thesis): Drilling for oil in Alaska is bad because there is only a six month supply of oil., there will be no reduction in the price of oil, and drilling with harm the environment. Paragraph 2: 1 st body paragraph: Reason 1 sentence (baby thesis): One reason why drilling is a bad idea is because there is not an unlimited supply of oil in Alaska. Direct quote from document: According to document C, “the ANWR contains no more than a 6 month supply of oil at our current consumption rates.” Argument: Even if we drill in Alaska we will still be dependent on foreign oil (other countries for our oil supply). The United States consumes more oil than anyone else in the world. Because of this, we will never be able to be self-sufficient for energy. Drilling in Alaska will be a waste of energy and resources that could be used elsewhere.
