Argumentative Essay A Review

Definition Argumentation is a logical way of asserting the soundness of a debatable position, belief, or conclusion. Argumentation appeals to reason

Argumentation Takes a Stand The stand is known as a claim Urges the audience to share the writer’s perspective and insights.

Argumentation Leads to a Logical Conclusion Unlike persuasion it doesn’t’ try to move an audience to action It’s purpose is to demonstrate that certain ideas are valid and others are not. Formal structure Points ( three points of your thesis) Evidence (research resources) Examples (personal examples) Logical chain of reasoning (commentary) Refutes opposing arguments (counterargument) Accommodates the audiences views.

Thesis: subject, opinion, points of the opinion. Topic: Is Classical Music The Best For Studying? Thesis: Classical music is best for studying because it improves mood, helps focus, decreases stress. Antithesis: Classical music is not the best music for student because some classical music fans find the opposite – that the music is too compelling to fade into the background and ends up distracting from the task at hand. COUNTERARGUMENT (COMEBACK, REBUTTAL, PROOF THAT IT IS INCORRECT) Perhaps it is the type of classical music (beat) Perhaps it is too loud Perhaps one simply needs a 5 minute break from studying.

CRITERIA FOR EVIDENCE RELEVANT REPRESENTATIVE SUFFICIENT Relate/support thesis REPRESENTATIVE Represent the full range of opinions (students, researchers, music theorist) SUFFICIENT Enough facts/research/evidence/examples

Evaluating Sources Authoritative Accurate Objective Current Experts in the field Published information No author equal no authority Accurate University press Scholarly Journal Book High level journal/magazines—Atlantic, Economist, Psychology Today, Wall Street Journal, New York Times. VERSUS NATIONAL ENUIRER Why not Wikipedia—no single editor who checks entries for accuracy, credibility, objectivity. The users themselves write/edit entries. Objective Unbiased, special-interest groups, paid-to-write, Current Last date/update. Comprehensive Doesn’t just cover one side. Detailed coverage—more than a sentence or a paragraph
