What to Focus On

  • The writer persuades readers to agree with a point of view.
  • The stand must be definite: for or against.
  • Arguments need logic, evidence, proven facts, and examples.
  • Decide the side before writing.
  • Jot down two or three supporting points.
  • Convert the statement into a question and answer it.
  • Evocation: state the side taken.
  • Explanation: explain the key terms.
  • Exposition: give reasons for the stand.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

An argumentative composition should discuss both sides equally.

Strong opinions alone are enough; evidence is not necessary.

The conclusion is the place to add a new point to make the answer stronger.
