Essay #2: Arguing a Position
Rough draft due: 2/2 Length: 4-5 pages
Final draft due: 2/16 Sources: 4
Write an essay on a controversial issue. Learn more about the
issue, and take a position on it. Present the issue to readers, and
develop a well-supported argument for the purpose of
confirming, challenging, or changing your readers' view’ on the
issue.
In your introduction, present a well-defined, argumentative
topic followed by a thesis that follows an appropriate thesis
template where you state your clear position on the topic. In the
middle paragraphs, present several logical reasons for taking
your stance. For each reason, acknowledge and respond to
various counterarguments. Finally, in your conclusion, sum up
your argument and remind readers what’s at stake in this debate.
The structure of the essay might be as follows: 1) the first or
first two paragraphs introduce and define the topic, 2) the next
several paragraphs go over the reasons that support your
position while refuting, accommodating, or acknowledging
possible counterarguments or weaknesses, and 3) finally, the
last paragraph(s) sum up your argument and remind readers
what’s at stake in this debate.
Tips: Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that
presents what the paragraph is about. Your ideas should be
well-reasoned and demonstrate mature sentence structure.
