Writing A Balanced Argument

Writing a Balanced Argument. Title A simple statement or question to draw attention to the issue. Introduction A short opening, explaining how the issue came about. Do not put any views of your own in this section. Should mobile phones be banned in schools? Paragraph 1

Points ‘for’ Start this section with ‘ Firstly ’. Write about your first point in favour of the argument but do not put your own point of view yet. Points ‘for’ Begin your next point with ‘ Secondly ’ or ‘ In addition to this ’ but still do not give your own opinion. Points ‘for’ Use ‘ Also ’ or ‘ In addition ’ to begin your final point in favour of the argument. Try to give evidence to support the point if you can. Paragraph 2 Paragraph 3 Paragraph 4

Points ‘Against’ Begin with ‘ However ’ and put your first point against the argument without giving your own view. Points ‘Against’ Continue to put your points ‘against’, introducing them with formal words such as ‘ In addition ’, ‘ Also ’ or ‘ Furthermore ’. Points ‘Against’ Use ‘ Finally ’ to begin your last point. Still do not give your opinion. Conclusion Begin with ‘ To sum up the argument ’ or ‘ In conclusion ’. At last you can give your own views if you wish, and conclude either in favour of or against the issue. Or finish with a question to challenge your readers to make up their own minds! Paragraph 5 Paragraph 6 Paragraph 7 Paragraph 8
