HOW TO WRITE
AN
ARGUMENTATIVE
ESSAY
created by Essay-Academy.com
• Argument essay is used to develop debate
and research skills of students.
• These are very useful skills not just in
college because persuading someone to think
your way may earn you some big benefits. In
this post we will review the process of
writing an argument essay and identify the
main points which should be followed.
LET’S START
CREATE A THESIS STATEMENT
• Your main idea of the paper has to deliver your own view on
the studied topic.
• It gives the readers information about how you feel about the
topic.
• Make sure you include you thesis statement in the end of your
first paragraph, which has to be introductory.
THIS PARAGRAPH DESCRIBES THE BACKGROUND OF
THE SUBJECT SO THE READER UNDERSTANDS WHY
THIS ARGUMENT ESSAY IS WRITTEN
CREATE A THESIS STATEMENT
• Make sure your thesis statement is easy to understand by your
audience.
• It must be concise because the readers must be able to
understand the importance of your research.
• You main idea should make a claim of your argument.
• There are several types of claims in argument essays: a claim of
value, a claim of definition, claim of cause and effect and a claim
about policies.
CREATE A THESIS STATEMENT
• These aspects address different situations.
• For example, a claim of definition is intended to change the
way we think about a certain idea. A claim of policies is aimed at
changing the way some things are done in a society.
WRITE THE BODY OF THE PAPER
• Now you need to collect all information you have and carefully
create the main part of your argument paper.
• Remember to include arguments of each view on the subject.
• Writers organize their arguments very differently but the main
thing to keep in mind is that you should not leave a single aspect
of the topic.
• Otherwise you will be giving your readers incomplete picture of
the issue, which is unethical and unprofessional.
WRITE A STRONG CONCLUSION
• The main objective of your final paragraph is to restate the
thesis statement and convince your readers once again.
• It is recommended to make a connection between your
conclusion and values of your readers to persuade them.
• All your main points should be restated as well because good
argument essay does not leave any important information.
• If necessary, propose a further research of the topic and identify
the main areas needed to be studied more.
USE RELIABLE SOURCES
• The best research can only include the best sources.
• So make sure you use information that is written by academics
and scientists.
• Make sure you review both modern literature and old literature
because the works written in the past created a foundation for
modern ones.
USE RELIABLE SOURCES
• Remember to use only scholarly sources because you can
accidentally use some works that were written by anyone without
experience in the area.
• Avoid taking information from popular web sites and bloggers,
articles there contain mostly unreliable information which is not
supported by scientific data.
• In the end, ensure you properly cited your sources and get ready
for the debate.
