  An argumentative essay presents evidence for an argument in order to let the reader know why it is favorable. It also shows why the other side of an argument is unfavorable. An argumentative essay shows strengths AND weaknesses of both sides. So, what is an argumentative essay?

 1. Introduce claim 2. Present evidence and why it is important- support 3. Address the counterargument 4. Reasons for rejecting the counterargument- rebuttal/refutation 5. Conclusion Parts of an Argumentative Essay

  Introduction:  Topic  Claim (OR can be a separate paragraph)  Background  Key Terms  Key Theories  My topic: Should people commute using bicycles or cars? 1.

  Claim: The position or assertion that supports an argument.  My claim: People should be encouraged to commute by bicycle rather than by car. 2.

  Evidence: The facts or reasons that support the claim.  My evidence: Maintaining a bicycle is less expensive than a car, and commuting costs for a bicycle are considerably less than costs for car. 3.

  Counterargument: An opposing position or assertion.  My counterargument: Some say that riding a bike would increase commuting time and decrease productivity. 4.

  Rebuttal/Refutation: Logical reasons for rejecting the counterargument.  My rebuttal/Refutation: Commuting by bicycle would mean avoiding rush hour traffic jams. 5.

  Conclusion:  What is the significance of your claim?  What information is important?  Why should we care?  My conclusion: Choosing to commute by bicycle rather than by car is important because it is key to personal and professional productivity, and is a fiscally responsible choice in an unstable economy. 6.

Create an outline for your mini-argument on the issue presented.  Question: Should schools require students to bring refillable containers for water and other beverages rather than only allowing students to purchase drinks in disposable containers from vending machines?
