Unit Three: The Creation and Craft of Argument
In Unit Three, you will develop and refin" rel="nofollow">ine an argument based on your understandin" rel="nofollow">ing of the elements of argument from Unit One and the research you conducted in" rel="nofollow">in Unit Two. You will start by draftin" rel="nofollow">ing and developin" rel="nofollow">ing an answer to your research question, which will become your tentative claim. Once you have established a tentative claim, you will begin" rel="nofollow">in the writin" rel="nofollow">ing process by developin" rel="nofollow">ing a clear plan for the structure of your argument. You will then write a first draft, which you will revise comprehensively in" rel="nofollow">in the light of your own critical reflection and feedback from your in" rel="nofollow">instructor and peers. Throughout the writin" rel="nofollow">ing process, you will give and receive feedback on written work.
Major Assignment
You will plan and write a 3500-word, 10-page, researched argumentative essay that uses at least eight sources (at least three of which will be scholarly).
Classic Model for an Argument
I. Introductory Paragraph
Your in" rel="nofollow">introductory paragraph sets the stage or the context for the position you are arguin" rel="nofollow">ing for.
This in" rel="nofollow">introduction should end with a claim statement (what you are arguin" rel="nofollow">ing for) and the reasons for your position on an issue.
A. Your claim:
- states what your position on an issue is
- usually appears at the end of the in" rel="nofollow">introduction in" rel="nofollow">in a short essay
- should be clearly stated and often contain" rel="nofollow">ins emphatic language
II. Body of your Argument
A. Background Information
This section of your paper gives the reader the basic in" rel="nofollow">information he or she needs to
understand your position. This could be part of the in" rel="nofollow">introduction, but may work as its
own section.
B. Sub Claims/Reasons and Evidence to Support your Claim
All evidence you present in" rel="nofollow">in this section should support your position. This is the heart of
your essay. Generally, you begin" rel="nofollow">in with a topic statement that you back up with specific details or examples. Dependin" rel="nofollow">ing on how long your argument is, you will need to devote one to two well-developed paragraphs to each reason/claim or type of evidence.
III. Addressin" rel="nofollow">ing the Opposite Side
Any well-written argument must anticipate and address positions in" rel="nofollow">in opposition to the one bein" rel="nofollow">ing argued.
Poin" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing out what your opposition is likely to say in" rel="nofollow">in response to your argument shows that you have thought critically about your topic. Addressin" rel="nofollow">ing the opposite side actually makes your argument stronger!
Generally, this takes the form of a paragraph that can be placed either after the in" rel="nofollow">introduction or before the conclusion.
IV. Conclusion
The conclusion should brin" rel="nofollow">ing the essay to a logical end. It should explain" rel="nofollow">in what the
importance of your issue is in" rel="nofollow">in a larger context. Your conclusion should also reiterate why your topic is worth carin" rel="nofollow">ing about.
Some arguments propose solutions or make prediction on the future of the topic.
Show your reader what would happen if your argument is or is not believed or acted upon as you believ
