Conclusion
Transitions for argument:
One reason
First,
Expand Your Argument
One reason is that soccer teaches teamwork.
Each position has a specific job. Forwards have the
responsibility of scoring goals. The fullbacks’ job
is defense, and the halfbacks assist both forwards
and fullbacks. Defense of the goal is the duty of the
goalie. In order to win all must do their jobs well
and rely on each other for help.

Admittedly,
Obviously,
Expand Your Counter
Certainly, team sports can intimidate children. Some children
may be physically smaller than others. Age group teams are
meant to solve this problem, but it is not unusual to see large
differences of height and weight in children of the same age.
Others may not be as athletic as other team members. Children
are particularly sensitive about how they compare to their peers.
When they cannot run as fast as other team members or are not as
agile, they fear ridicule

Expand Your Solution
However, learning to work as part of a team is essential to success
in many other areas. Children have to learn to cooperate both at
school and home. In school students are expected to work together
without conflict. Many teachers use cooperative groups to teach. At
home children are expected to be part of the family team and help with
chores that need to be done. When they are older, these children may
have a job that requires teamwork. Only rarely does a person work in
job that does not require working with others. Office workers have to
work together to accomplish the tasks given to them. Construction
workers have to be part of a team effort to finish buildings on time and
on budget.
Don’t :
Don’t :
Don’t begin with “Hello my name is___ and I’m going to
write about____”
Don’t use the word “I “ (Instead of “I think we shouldn’t
wear uniforms” say “Uniforms shouldn’t be required.”
Don’t be wishy-washy. Pick a side!
Don’t forget to support your opinions with facts and
example s
Introductory Paragraph:
Introductory Paragraph:
Fast Food Is Killing America!
Did you know that a typical child needs 2,000 calories for
an entire day and Burger King’s Whopper with triple cheese
has 1,230 calories? That is far more calories than anyone
needs in one day! Fast food consumption has risen 500
percent since 1970 and today reaches nearly every part of
society, including some public school cafeterias. Fast food
is harmful because it rapidly increases weight, causes high
blood pressure, and leads to sluggishness. Fast food is bad
for your health!
CATCHY TITLE
HOOK THE READER
THESIS STATEMENT
YOUR THREE ARGUMENTS
Thesis Statement
A thesis statement is always one sentence that states your
assertion (belief) about a topic. A thesis statement usually brief
preview of your arguments.
(I believe) ____________________ because of argument 1,
argument 2, and argument 3.
Which of the following is a good thesis
statement?
 I believe we must stop wasting food now!
 The problem of food waste can easily be solved by implementing three
simple steps: reduce, reuse, recycle.
 If you aren’t reducing, reusing, and recycling, you should.
 I believe wasting food is a huge problem. We need to reduce our food
waste. For example, make a shopping list before you go to the store,
and only buy things you truly need. You shouldn’t buy a gallon of milk if
you are only going to drink a quart of it during the week. Who cares if
the gallon size is on sale?

Editor's Notes

  1. A campaign poster for Barack Obama and a billboard advertisement that was displayed on Interstate 35 between Dallas and Austin in Texas
  2. Show students the correlation between the thesis and forecast and the planner.
  3. Introduce the thesis statement model. Have students practice writing thesis statements with the “I believe” stem until they become proficient. Some students may only need to be shown the example once—others may have to write four or five essays using the stem until they get the idea. I refer to the “I believe” stem as the “training wheels” for thesis statements. Once students are confident in their ability to write thesis statements, they can get rid of the “training wheels.” Show students the correlation between the planner and the thesis statement and forecast.
  4. Have students analyze these typical student thesis statements. The first is missing a forecast. The third has an assertion, and previews the arguments, but the tone is not academic. This is a great opportunity to discuss with students the use of first person, second person, and third person points of view in academic writing. The final example starts with an assertion, but the writer then launches into the heart of the arguments. Stress to students that the forecast is a concise preview—the full argument and supporting details should go in the body paragraphs, not the introduction.
