Starting the Argument Process

So far we’ve looked at an example and the structure of arguments, now let us apply it.

Structure:

Topic Sentence

Statement / Claim

Evidence / Example

Explanation / Transition

Using this structure, I want you to work on writing, in your research journal, one of your argument paragraphs. You will start it here, refine it by adding evidence from a source and citing it later, and then post it under “Class Exercises” to the forum “Argument Example Paragraph”

This should be done by 11:59 PM on Sunday, March 24. We will discuss it in class on Monday (ENGL 102.17) or Tuesday (ENGL 102.08).
