This document provides guidance on building an argument by outlining the key components and considerations for each component. The main components of an argument are: a claim, reasons to support the claim, evidence to back up the reasons, warrants to connect the reasons and evidence to the claim, and acknowledgements of alternative views or counterarguments with responses. For each component, the document lists questions to consider regarding things like whether the component is supportable, contestable, or representative of alternative views. The overall purpose is to help structure an argument and ensure each component meets standards of quality.
