In an argumentative essay, first select one argumentative article from your cause/effect essay, then begin with a formal summary of that article. In this essay, you will present both sides of an argument, state your claim, support your opinion, and provide counter arguments. Use at least three reliable sources. Proper usage of in-text citations, paraphrasing, and a Works Cited page following MLA style is expected. By reading various academic texts connected to your topic, you will develop critical thinking skills (e.g., asking complex questions; making inferences, analyzing, applying, synthesizing, and evaluating information gathered from observation, experience, and reflection).
