Remember to include TWO quotes or paraphrases in your paragraph and include a citation.

THESIS: Social media use is having a negative impact on teens by contributing to an increase in mental health issues, a decrease in self-esteem, and an escalation in addictive behavior.


***OPTION 2: To save time and help you practice with one of your own paragraphs, you may use the "Powerful Paragraph Method" to develop one of the paragraphs from your argumentative essay in place of creating one from the thesis and article provided above.

If you decide to do this, include the following in your response:

a link to your source, the article you are using, or better yet, the full source citation;
your thesis statement, or at least your claim and the main point of the paragraph you are sharing
a well-developed and academically written "powerful paragraph"
at least one in-text citation.
