- Argumentative Essay (a.k.a persuasive essay)
- - State which side you’re taking on a controversial topic.
- - Convince readers that your side is superior to the other side(s).
- ---
- Go through the characteristics of a good argumentative thesis statement on the handout from https://www.kibin.com/essay-writing-blog/thesis-statement-examples/
- Why is each characteristic important?
- ---
- In your group, choose three of the sample thesis statements on the handout. Then come up with three pieces of evidence that could support the sample thesis, and three pieces of information that could be used as counterarguments. You do not personally need to pick a side on any of these topics right now.
- ---
- Homework: Choose one of the thesis statements on the handout and write an argumentative essay that agrees or disagrees with the thesis. (You should address some counterarguments to your position.) You can invent facts and statistics rather than carefully researching everything.
