  1. PERSUASION • Provides proof one side of an argument is right • An argument takes a position on a debatable subject • Provides counterarguments to show the arguments of the opposing side and negates them

  2. PERSUASIVE Introduction: Hook: Attention-getting device (brief explanation of issue or background information) Thesis: Topic + Stance (position on the issue) + Why or How Factor

  3. BODYPARAGRAPHS (minimum 3) • supports your thesis statement with evidence – statistics, examples, facts, expert opinions • Dr. Lernard Smythe, professor of Media Psychology at Harvard University, said, “The media tends to sway potentials juries and the general public to believe people are guilty before proven innocent” (Seward). • The condom found at the scene had Gray’s DNA (“The mystery of Thomas Cummins”). • Tom Cummins was so profoundly affected by the event that he had to “enroll in an intensive counseling program” (Cummins 267).

  4. BODYPARAGRAPHS (minimum 3) • Make sure to use correct citations • The condom found at the scene had Gray’s DNA (“The mystery of Thomas Cummins”). • Dr. Lernard Smythe, professor of Media Psychology at Harvard University, said, “The media tends to sway potentials juries and the general public to believe people are guilty before proven innocent” (Seward). Author’s last name or title if last name is not available and page number if available • Tom Cummins was so profoundly affected by the event that he had to “enroll in an intensive counseling program” (Cummins 267).

  5. BODYPARAGRAPHS (minimum 3) • negate the opposing side by using statistics or examples, logical arguments, expert opinions (counterarguments) Opposing View Arguments: Exercise is Really the Solution. Counterargument: It’s not only about exercising; it’s also about eating the right way. One 20-ounce soda has 17 teaspoons of sugar, for a whopping 250 empty calories. A kid who drinks one soda a day for a week would need to bicycle for 4 hours and 20 minutes, just to burn off the calories from the soda.

  6. BODYPARAGRAPH Topic sentence = subpoint of the thesis statement (answers the question why or how) Claim = supports topic sentence (gives reasons) Evidence = proves the claim (shows proof) Warrant = connection, inference, analysis (explains) Claim = supports topic sentence Evidence = proves the claim Warrant = connection, inference, analysis Opposing argument = what the opposing side believes Rebuttal = why the opposing side is wrong Evidence = proves the rebuttal

  7. Conclusions: Sums up your position and provides a solution/call to action
