81: Should vaccination be mandated by law?

Read the following articles to determine whether or not vaccinations should be required by law:

Why did the measles outbreak occur in Disney Land?

Side Effects of Vaccines

What are vaccines made of?

After reading the articles, construct a 5 paragraph argumentative essay as to why people should or should not vaccinate:

Paragraph 1/Introduction:

• what should people reading your paper know about immunity, pathogens, vaccines?
• State your position (whether people should OR should not vaccinate) at the LAST sentence of your paragraph

Paragraph 2&3:

• Claim 1 
• Evidence
• Reasoning
• Don't forget to cite

Paragraph 4/Counterclaim

• State the opposing side's view. 
• Explain the opposing side's view
• Explain why their argument is still weak! For some reason, you guys hardly complete the counterclaim!!! Focus on this point

Paragraph 5/Conclusion: 

• sum up your main points (but not in the same wording, or else...) :)

Don't forget:

• space bar after punctuations like commas, periods
• no contractions: shouldn't = should not
• No pronouns like: I, me, he, she, herself, you, it, that, they, each, few, many, who, whoever, whose, someone, everybody, etc.)
• Cite the articles using MLA formatting learned in class.
