Your group has an interesting topic. It may be difficult to find opposing viewpoints, but try to show both sides of the argument. I suggest interviewing people to show the public's opinion on parks. It looks like you will be able to make a strong argument.

I think that your topic might need more of an angle. I think it is almost common sense that parks in urban areas are beneficial and make people happy. For example, if i was doing this i might look at what makes parks successful and compare unpopular parks to crowded parks, interview people about what kinds of parks they like, or find a park and film it for a certain amount of time to see where the popular spots are. Those are just some ideas that might help you spice it up a little.

Ryan, Ryan, and Caleb, this outline is a little more skeletal than I expected. I have to guess what your argument is.

what are you trying to argue in this paper? i think that you have a good topic, parks, but you should try to find something controversial about them, like locations or boundries, or drilling in parks for oil in alaska. that would be pretty interesting

I think you have a good topic but you should make your argument more definite.

It seems like a good topic, but I don't see how you will argue one side or the other. It should be easy to find people to interview though.

Maybe you could make this topic controversial by arguing that parks are more important than something else. Then you would convince us that parks are so beneficial that they should be a priority in every city.

I am very confused when reading this outline. I am not able to just pick out what your agrument is going to be about. I believe that if you put a little more in to it it should be good.
