Argumentative essay

It doesnt matter to me as long as you meet the requirements. For this essay, I want to see the following:

1. Introduction and thesis

2. Background

3. Reason 1 and evidence (source)

4. Reason 2 and evidence (source)

5. Reason 3 and evidence (source)

6. Anticipation of objections and rebuttal (where you acknowledge arguments against you

and then state why they are wrong.

7. Conclusion

This week you will be wrapping up our discussions related to the Argument Essay and turning in your initial draft. Be sure to go back to the info from last week on pgs 119-145 and briefly review. This essay will need to be 4-6 pages, 12 pt Times New Roman, double spaced, and will need to include 3 outside sources for support.

First, I dont care what you write about in terms of topic (as long as its appropriate). You can argue about anything: politics, pop culture, personal interests…you name it. If you want to talk about the current situation in the Middle East and make an argument, thats fine. If you want to talk about a music artist’s new album and argue that its their best or worst so far, thats fine too. It honestly doesnt matter to me.
