  1. You’ve created T-Charts/T-Bars for THREE more different articles that focus on arguments — “should we go to Mars?”, “do manners matter?”, and “should school cafeterias have assigned seating?” — and now you’re going to write a TBEAR body paragraph. Choose ONE of the arguments and write a TBEAR for it. The evidence you use NEEDS to be a FACTfrom the article— remember, you may have an opinion, but arguments are won with logic and evidence! Be sure to properly cite the author of the Scope article you’re getting your information from: (Last Name Page #) Paper should be typed in size 12, Times New Roman, with double spacing. Save as “LAST NAME – PERIOD # — Argument TBEAR 2” and be sure to have your heading in the upper right hand corner! Argument TBEAR #2

  2. Your topic sentence is a STATEMENT. You are not asking a question, you are not writing an introduction hook, and you are not saying “I think kids should be on reality TV!” It should be a plain statement of what side of the argument will be written about in the article. Yes, kids should be allowed to be on reality TV because it provides great opportunities. No, kids should not be allowed on reality TV as it can damage their emotional health. Your background information is where you should explain the argument you’ll be discussing, and introduce the article you’re using as your source. For example… In the Scope Magazine article “Do Manners Matter?”, the writer discusses the importance of people showing courtesy to one another.

  3. Your evidence is a FACT or a DIRECT QUOTE from the article. Direct quote: Justin O’Neill writes, “Alana makes roughly $36,000 a season” (O’Neill 29). Fact: Alana Thompson from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo makes $36,000 a season just for talking about farts, picking her nose, and drinking ‘Go-Go Juice’ (O’Neill 29). Your analysis can’t be in first person, you will write in the third person and connect the evidence to the topic and point that is being made. Analysis is a reporting of facts — not your argument and your personal feelings.
