Discuss The Role of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) in Sustainable Wastewater Treatment.ESSAY #3: Magazine Article for Non-expert Readers: You will write an argument-driven magazine-style article (2,000+ words) on sustainability-related developments in your future or current professional field. These developments could concern recent sustainable practices/processes, innovations that promote global/national sustainability, or specific initiatives that focus on sustainability at local (or larger) levels. Your essay may discuss any issue, concept, or concern pertinent to your chosen topic, but you will be required to “accommodate” at least three recent peer-reviewed research articles (2018 and beyond) to support, clarify, and/or nuance your primary point or argument. Note that you can use one (or more) of these articles as the central element of your essay—meaning, you could write a primarily epideictic article reporting on the research you intend to accommodate. Whatever your choice, you will create an article for an audience consisting of non-expert, but informed readers who are interested in how your field can contribute to a more sustainable future. You will aim to present a clear and engaging argument to this audience, and to elicit interest in your chosen topic. Your primary goal should be to promote awareness about recent developments in a manner that serves to enhance public perception of your discipline and STEM research, and highlights the importance of these developments to the broader international community. In your essay, I expect you to: Apply Joshua Schimel’s recommendations about story and structure Create an engaging opening that clearly funnels readers to your primary argument (consider using a sequence of “value arguments” to do so, and review our discussion of “lead types”) Present a clear and nuanced argument/thesis about your chosen topic Provide detailed evidence from secondary sources (3 of which must be peer-reviewed sources) Offer focused and sophisticated analyses of the evidence you present Effectively “accommodate” scientific findings for your chosen audience (as detailed in the readings by Jeanne Fahnestock and Ken Hyland) Use rhetorical strategies and choices to interest your target audience in your topic and to invite this audience to value your position
