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.
