What to Focus On

  • Decide the side first: for or against.
  • Write two or three supporting points before starting.
  • Points may be full sentences or short phrases.

  • Five Es schema: Evocation, Explanation, Exposition, Example, End.
  • Evocation means stating the side.
  • Explanation means explaining and defining key terms.

  • A strong composition is balanced and reasoned.
  • The other side should not be ignored.
  • The strongest counterargument should be identified.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A good argumentative composition can be written without choosing a side clearly.

The conclusion is the best place to add one more strong argument.

The strongest counterargument should be written directly in the composition as if it supports the chosen side.
