Argument Essay Outline Tips
Introductory Paragraph
Goals: engage audience, introduce topic. present thesis and
supporting points.
Use a Hook: Engage the audience by grabbing their attention
with a startling fact, interesting information, or important
background on your topic.
Craft a Change-Driven Thesis: state your thesis, which includes
an explicit argument for change and at least three supporting
points, at the very end of this paragraph. The thesis should be
the last sentence so that it can successfully anchor the rest of
the essay.
Don’t Dig in Too Deeply Yet: try to avoid presenting too much
of the argument here. You’ll want to use the funnel format--
8. starting broadly with your topic and then getting specific with
your thesis. The thesis should be the most specific sentence in
the first paragraph.
Body Paragraph 1
Goals: support thesis, effectively transition between ideas, stay
angled towards argument, include research & original insight.
Create Strong Topic Sentences: start each body paragraph with
an argumentative claim directly related to the thesis--ideally,
this claim will follow-through on one of the supporting points
from the thesis.
Stay Angled Towards Argument: make sure that every idea and
sentence in the paragraph works to prove your thesis.
Weave in Research: this paragraph should blend reliable and
credible research with original insight to prove the claim made
in the topic sentence.
Body Paragraphs 2, 3, 4 (etc)
Goals: *same as above.
*Repeat all of the above for as many supporting points as you
have created. Each supporting point should be represented by at
least one body paragraph.
Counterargument Paragraph
Goals: introduce the other side, strengthen your thesis.
Anticipate Possible Objections: imagine what the “other side”
of your argument is. Then, try to think of ways to make your
argument stand out.
Weave in Research: ideally, you will have at least one reliable
and credible source to use to support the counterargument.
Show Your Strength: Even if you cannot entirely prove the
other side wrong, you should still work to show that your side is
9. strongest.
Conclusion
Goals: reiterate thesis and supporting points, provide readers
with food for thought, avoid introducing new ideas.
Remind, but Don’t Repeat: remind readers of the thesis and
supporting points, but do not repeat them exactly as you
presented them in the introductory paragraph.
Avoid New Ideas: you won’t have time to fully develop and
support an entirely new idea (like a supporting point).
Include Food for Thought: you can still include insights and
food for thought on your topic--just be sure they are relevant to
what you have already presented.

10. The Heart That Expresses Gratitude Is a Happy One
Giving thanks is an urgent duty that everybody needs to attend
to. I always believed that
self-care is important, especially in today’s world with
numerous stressors. However, I had never
gotten a chance to give myself the self-care I always desired.
My dream of vacation and fashion
venture was shattered when the pandemic hit the world.
However, I am grateful to my father for
facilitating a trip to Bali to unwind and vacation and setting up
a meeting with my mentor, who
inspired me to push forward with my fashion dream.
As a child, my dream had always been to be successful in the
fashion field, even though
not as my major. My father has always been aware of my
passion for this dream because I would
participate in fashion contests any chance I got, in school and
within my community. My mentor
was my neighbor’s daughter, who is doing very well in fashion
with a big fashion house and
great looks that make it even to the magazines. Even though the
pandemic, her work was still
11. greatly appreciated, and she sold her clothes online, still
making a profit. My father always knew
I adored her work and aspired to make my fashion work greater
than hers. However, it was very
challenging contacting her since she lived in a different state
and rarely came home, and if she
did, they mostly went away to spend quality time in their
holiday home. So, my father surprised
https://youtu.be/OloIfSYBpE8

me with a meeting with her to share our passion for fashion
over a cup of coffee. “The best
advice I can give you right now is to be daring.”
(Not sure what she meant). “What do you mean by that?”
“Take everything head-on, navigate through the storm, always
be sure of your power
against every challenge. Fashion is about standing out, so go for
that designs you think would be
controversial and watch the world appreciate it with awe.”
This was the best advice o had ever had. It made me feel
powerful, and I decided to be more
intentional about my talent. I am now running a small fashion
12. business with the vision of
becoming the best in the next three years.
In my teenage years, I watched bloggers travel the world and
give themselves time to re-
energize. I had been working part-time and going to school for
three years straight. I barely had a
chance to take care of myself and give my mind some time off
the stress. The pandemic
worsened my situation because I was worried about school
arrangements. We were laid off at my
part-time job since only a few employees would be in the
building due to social distancing
measures, while some work online. My father was very worried
about me and knew how much I
had always wanted to go to Bali and have the time of my life.
Therefore, he surprised me with a
fully catered vacation. I went there with my best friend, and I
realized how much mental stress I
had been carrying. It was beautiful, swimming in the
magnificent pools, enjoying the sun, and
visiting the stunning beaches. We also had time to visit their
sacred rivers and secret canyons.
After the trip, I had released all the stress and was motivated to
chase my dream instead of being
13. gloomy about losing my last job. I decided to delve fully into
fashion and start my thriving small
business.

I am very grateful to a father who looks out for my career and
personal needs. He was
able to see that I had the motivation to pick up myself and be
great by setting up a meeting with
my mentor and giving me a chance o ease my mind. As much as
we all want to be great in
everything we do, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy; I
am a true testimony for this.
