It provides guidance on using elaboration and counter-arguments to strengthen arguments across three supporting paragraphs before concluding. The purposes of argument writing are outlined as changing readers' views, prompting action, or accepting the writer's perspective.
What is an argumentative essay
This document defines an argumentative essay and outlines the steps to write one. It begins by explaining that an argumentative essay presents both the pros and cons of an issue. It stresses that topics should be narrow in scope and contain an argument. The essay then outlines the six steps to write one: 1) organizing thoughts, 2) researching the topic, 3) developing a thesis statement, 4) writing an introduction, 5) writing the body, and 6) concluding. It provides details on developing a thesis, using three organizational patterns in the body, effectively supporting ideas with facts/statistics, and refuting opposing arguments.
English: Counterarguments
This document discusses how to address counterarguments in an essay. It explains that anticipating objections to your claims can strengthen your paper. Authors should research opposing views thoroughly to discuss them accurately. Counterarguments can be addressed either after relevant sub-claims within the body or in a separate paragraph at the end before the conclusion. Examples are provided of each approach. The key is understanding the opposition's perspective to effectively rebut their claims.
Response presentation
The document discusses the response paragraph, which is a short reflective piece of writing that interprets and analyzes a text. A response paragraph typically includes a summary of the main ideas from the text, a direct answer to any question posed, evidence from the text to support the writer's opinion, and a concluding remark. The document provides the structure of a response paragraph, including summarizing the main idea, directly answering any question, citing supporting details from the text, including optional supporting details from the writer's own experience, and concluding. An example response paragraph is also included to demonstrate these components.
Identifying arguments
This document discusses arguments and how to identify their key components. An argument consists of premises that provide reasons or evidence to support a conclusion. Common words that indicate premises include "because" and "since," while conclusion indicators are words like "therefore" and "thus." To identify an argument's conclusion, determine what claim the author is trying to prove or see which statement fits best after "therefore." A passage only qualifies as an argument if it contains at least two statements and one is intended to support another as true or more probable. The document also differentiates arguments from reports, unsupported opinions, illustrations, conditional statements, and explanations.
How to-write-a-discursive-essay4
This document provides guidance on how to write a discursive essay. It recommends planning by making a list of arguments for and against the topic. The essay structure should include an introduction stating the topic, examining arguments for and against the topic in separate paragraphs, and a conclusion. It offers words to introduce different elements like for and against arguments, evidence, and consequences. The conclusion should summarize main points and state the author's view with reasons.
Rhetorical analysis
The document provides instructions for conducting a rhetorical analysis of an argument by identifying the author's main claim and reasons, the evidence used to support each reason, and categorizing the evidence as appealing to emotion, logic, or credibility. It concludes by asking the reader to evaluate whether the author made a convincing case and if they are credible on the topic.
Counterargument
This document provides guidance on using counterarguments and rebuttals to strengthen a persuasive essay. It explains that a counterargument addresses views that disagree with the thesis to demonstrate the writer considered alternative perspectives. Including counterarguments establishes credibility and shows other views are valid. The document advises determining opposing views and audiences' potential counterarguments. It provides templates for introducing counterarguments and rebuttals to refute issues raised. Finally, it discusses strategies for including counterarguments and rebuttals within body paragraphs or at the beginning or end of the essay.

Lecture on writing argumentative essays ppt
The document provides guidance on writing argumentative essays. It discusses choosing a debatable topic, developing a clear thesis statement, addressing counterarguments, and organizing the essay. The key points are:
- Choose a topic that allows for reasonable arguments on both sides rather than being a statement of fact. A good thesis directly answers the assignment question with a clear position and forecast of evidence.
- Anticipate opposing views and address them in the essay to demonstrate a well-rounded understanding and weaken those counterarguments.
- The essay should be organized logically, either by refuting counterarguments before stating the thesis, or presenting the thesis and evidence first before addressing objections.
Writing your concession
This document discusses how to write a concession paragraph when taking a position on an issue. A concession acknowledges parts of the opposing viewpoint and makes arguments to overcome objections. Students should anticipate counterarguments and give partial agreement to other perspectives, while still supporting their own thesis. The document provides an example concession paragraph on censorship that acknowledges valid concerns about media violence but argues for industry self-regulation instead of government censorship. Students are instructed to include concrete details and commentary when writing their own concession paragraphs.

On Writing an Ethical Argument Evaluation Paper (PHIL 302)
Topic is Racism between social Classes

If you already have an argument, then you can go on to the next step. If not, you may choose to discuss one from an author you have read, or you may formulate your own. In some courses, you may consider a case study for your paper. In that case you will formulate an argument that purports to defend a resolution to the case. You should note that it is not crucial that you pick an argument with which you agree. It is about equally difficult (or easy) to write a paper opposing an argument as it is to write one supporting it, so you should probably choose an argument that is interesting first.

III. Argument
IV. Justification

Evaluation Argument (Value claim thesis) assignment
Step one is to choose a subject. The problem that you perceive as an author is that I (your audience) don’t agree with your
aesthetic or moral based
opinion
on one of the following subjects although I am open minded. You will be arguing that your
opinion
is better than mine and trying to get me to change my mind to agree with your
opinion

This will hopefully give you more freedom to play with definition methods.

Once you construct your thesis, you need to define your value word in the body of your paper using at least three definition methods (first part of the pro body). Then you need to match the subject to the definition using at least two pieces of research (second part of the pro body). You need a con argument also containing one piece of research that disagrees with your thesis. The paper needs standard introduction and conclusion sections and a Works Cited page. The paper length should be around four-six pages, typed and double spaced.

AREL for discussions

Persuasive Writing
Persuasive writing aims to influence the audience's thoughts or actions by taking a stance for or against an issue. There are three main ways to persuade others: appealing to reason with evidence and logic, appealing to emotions with vivid examples and imagery, and appealing to one's character or credibility. When crafting a persuasive argument, it is important to address counterarguments, ensure evidence is from reliable sources, and anticipate objections in order to strengthen one's position.

Argumentative essay
- 2. In this kind of essay, we not only give information but also present an argument with the PROS (supporting ideas) and CONS (opposing ideas) of an argumentative issue. We should clearly take our stand and write as if we are trying to persuade an opposing audience to adopt new beliefs or behavior. The primary objective is to persuade people to change beliefs that many of them do not want to change.
- 3. it should be narrowed down X Marijuana should be considered illegal. (Not a good topic because it is too general. In some medical cases, marijuana is prescribed by the doctors and the patients are encouraged to use it in case of suffering from too much pain) √ Selling and using marijuana in public places should be considered illegal. it should contain an argument X We should decide whether we want a bicycle or a car. (our stand is not clear: do we support having bicycles or cars?) √ If we are under the age of 30 and want a healthy life, we should definitely get a bicycle instead of a car. it should be a topic that can be adequately supported (with statistics, outside source citations, etc.) X I feel that writing an argumentative essay is definitely a challenging task. (feelings cannot be supported; we cannot persuade other people)
- 4. If you believe that you can find enough evidence to support your idea and refute others effectively, you can choose challenging topics as well. You can enjoy writing about such topics: Topic: Stress is good for the human body.
- 5. All argumentative topics have PROs and CONs. Before starting writing, it is imperative to make a list of these ideas and choose the most suitable ones among them for supporting and refuting. There are three types of organization:
- 6. Thesis statement: PRO idea 1 PRO idea 2 CON(s) + Refutation(s) Conclusion
- 7. Thesis statement: CON(s) + Refutation(s) PRO idea 1 PRO idea 2 Conclusion
- 8. Thesis statement: CON idea 1 CON idea 2 CON idea 3 Conclusion -----> -----> -----> Refutation Refutation Refutation
- 9. Which patern do you think the argumentative essay use? Define the content for each part.
