argumentative essay

write a multiple-paragraph essay of at least three full pages. Do not write a five-paragraph essay; organize your draft so that it contains more than five paragraphs. Include a properly formatted Works Cited list on page 4 or later.

In your opening (the first two paragraphs), do the following: 1) in the first paragraph, present your opposition’s argument, linked to a recent article; 2) in the second paragraph, present your response to that argument, and include your thesis statement.

In each body paragraph, begin with a clear, claim-driven topic sentence (TS). Then support that TS with textual evidence and personal examples. Use paraphrases and brief quotes to integrate your source(s). Add in-text citations, when necessary.
