In MLA format
Validity of  Viewpoint A (1000 words, 3 sources minimum; one side, no personal stance)
Think of Viewpoint A as the yes to your controversial question.  Write this section as if you are presenting research to those who disagree with View A, or are undecided, to help them make an informed, educated decision. Ex: Address those who are pro-life and present a researched argument to help them see the validity and main interests of those who are pro-choice. Present viewpoint fairly and accurately; discuss their main message, reasoning, and motivation. Use your knowledge of moral reasoning to effectively appeal to this part of your audience.
