Writing an Outline:

The instructor requires writers to use the argument paper outline format below for creating an outline. Review Chapter 6, page 271, for additional insight.

YOUR OUTLINE SHOULD LOOK SIMILAR TO THIS, WITH YOUR OWN WORDS AND IDEAS:

ARGUMENT PAPER OUTLINE FORMAT

I.  Introduction

 a. Include an attention-getter.

 b. State the thesis – in this case, clearly state your position on the issue. Are you PRO (for) the issue, or CON (against) the issue?

 c. Review the paper’s main points.

II. Background paragraph: Purpose is to lay the foundation of your argument. Here, you identify key terms, definitions, theories, assumptions, as needed.

III. Supporting Evidence Paragraph #1

IV.  Supporting Evidence Paragraph #2

V.  Supporting Evidence Paragraph #3

VI. Acknowledge the Opposing Viewpoint: What does the opposition say? This is the defense of the position you did NOT take. Why? This paragraph demonstrates you are a well-rounded, global thinker that can acknowledge the opposition and understand the opposition’s facts and statistics, but that you are still passionate about YOUR position on the issue.

VII. Conclusion

 a. Restate your thesis. Strongly clarify your position on the issue.

 b. Offer a final thought or support statement – if you were making a sale, this is where you would ‘go for the sell’ and tell the reader why your position is THE position to take.

This outline assignment should be formatted in MLA formatting with a page header on all pages (last name, space, page number), your introduction information (Your name, my name, EN111, date listed dd Month yyyy). The title for this assignment should be Outline for Argument Paper.

Reminder on the argument essay guidelines:

What is an argument essay? This essay asks the writer to take a stance on a controversial issue or “hot button” topic, and to defend that position with the use of facts, statistics, data, and research. This style of paper also asks the writer to use critical thinking skills to consider the opposing viewpoint on the chosen issue. Chapter 6: Arguing a Position and Chapters 20-22 on research projects and sources will prove helpful. Axelrod and Cooper (232-236) consider the following features key in papers that argue a position:

• A focused, well-presented issue
• A well-supported position
• An effective response to      opposing views
• A clear, logical organization

Taking a Stance:

The overall point of a persuasive or argument paper is to logically support and defend a position on an issue with solid evidence. The twist is that the writer also needs to acknowledge the opposing viewpoint to the position, in that a reader will have an opportunity to see all sides of the issue, NOT just the side that the writer is taking.  We in American society tend to take stances all the time on issues without the formality of a written paper or a heated argument.  We do this every day.  You just got paid and you have a spare $100 after you pay bills that you can spend on anything you want!  Do you go purchase the new shoes, the designer coat, the newest Apple product, or the most current fishing gear?  Do you and your friend go out for a fancy dinner? Do you spend that money on your kid’s soccer outfit for the spring? Do you choose to stash that money in the bank for a rainy day? We have choices we can make, and the challenge is determining what choice is best for us based on the pros and the cons of the decision.

Pros, Cons, and Acknowledging the Opposing Viewpoint:

In this style of paper, a writer must distinctly choose to take a position on an issue. The writer can take a pro (“for position”) position, and acknowledge the opposing con viewpoint. Similarly, the writer can take a con (“against position”) position, and acknowledge the opposing proviewpoint.  Regardless of what issue you discuss or what position you choose to support, you will need to include an introduction paragraph, a background paragraph, three paragraphs supporting your position, one paragraph addressing the opposing viewpoint/position, and a conclusion. Whereas many issues in society are not black-or-white decisions and we can see both perspectives clearly, the point of an argument paper is to take a solid stance and support that stance (and always acknowledge the opposing viewpoint) with clear and well-focused research.
