Title

Introduction:

· Introduce your topic in an interesting way.

· Possibilities include a statement of the issue’s seriousness or reasons why the issue is currently being debated – or why it should be reexamined.

· State your claim clearly and include what it’s based on. Values, logic, right or wrong, good or bad, for us as individuals or as a society.

· Your claim will double as your thesis statement; be careful not to pick too broad or too narrow of a topic.

Take a position:

· Formally inform others of your position as a foundation to build resolution to difficult problems.

· Present a unique, though biased, solution or a unique approach to solving a problem.

· Establish your credibility. Here you are demonstrating that you have a command of the issues and the research behind them, and can present them clearly

Research:

· Develop supporting evidence for both sides including factual knowledge, statistical evidence, authoritative testimony.

· Identify the issues and prejudices keeping in mind your audience. List these as appropriate and anticipate counterclaims.

· Assume familiarity with basic concepts but define unfamiliar terms/concepts or state meanings that define your point of departure.

· Refer to those who agree with your position to assist you in developing your argument

· Familiarize yourself with those who disagree with you to prepare your defense. Summarize their argument and evidence, then refute.

Guidelines:

· Keep your voice active

· Quote sources to establish authority

· Stay focused on your point of view throughout the essay

· Focus on logical arguments

· Don't lapse into summary in the development--wait for the conclusion

Conclusion:

· Summarize, then conclude, your argument

· Refer to the first paragraph/opening statements as well as the main points

· does the conclusion restate the main ideas?

· reflect the succession and importance of the arguments

· logically conclude their development?
