Introduction Paragraph

Paragraph 1: Reason and Evidence for why you are FOR or AGAINST

Sample Paragraph: Genetic engineering of crops can cause foreign genes to be incorporated into animals. (Jones 1999) If these genes are incorporated into the DNA of the animals, the resulting products of those genes can affect the animals. For example, antibiotic resistance genes used to manufacture maize could give an animal that same antibiotic resistance making it more difficult for the farmer to treat it when it gets sick. (Jones 1999) By genetically engineering crops, and feeding them to the animals, these genes can be transferred. (Dale, et. al. 2002)
