W HAT IS AN ARGUMENT ?

It’s just… PERSUASIVE WRITING, right?

WRONG!! Persuasive writing is based on an emotional appeal and the credibility of the writer. Argument writing is based on logic and reasoning.

An argument is a claim that someone believes should or should not be true. An argument is a claim that someone believes should or should not be true. Kids should be in school Monday through Saturday!

A claim by itself is not enough. You have to convince people why your claim is true. You do this by using reasons and concrete details.

“I NEED BACKUP !” A main argument--or claim--all by itself is not very strong. Reasons explain how the evidence supports the claim. Concrete details supports the reasons.

Claim: Kids should not have to go to school on Saturdays. Kids should not have to go to school on Saturdays. Reasons: Most working parents have weekends off, and students need to be with their families. Most working parents have weekends off, and students need to be with their families. Concrete Detail: Students spend 36 hours a week at school. Students spend 12 hours a week with their parents. Some students have jobs. Some students have jobs. Concrete Detail: 86% of 11 th and 12 th graders work on the weekends. Students need time for other activities. Concrete Detail: Only 12% of students aren’t involved in extracurricular activities. On average, students spend 22 hours a week on extracurricular activities.

Arguments should also include rebuttals or reasons why the counter arguments are wrong Kids should not have to go to school on Saturdays.

M AKING A C LAIM Think about how a teenage driver might convince his/her parents to loan the family car. Some tactics might include: Present examples of trustworthiness from the past Instill feelings of guilt Whine Present statistics on teen driving to demonstrate a sense of responsibility. Based on an example from: 8/10/

8/10/ E VIDENCE Information that supports a claim or counterclaim (ex. facts, figures, examples) I should be allowed to drive the car! I probably should not be allowed to drive the car! Concluding Statement I passed the driving test the first time. (I know the rules.) Driving record at MVA I have never gotten a ticket. (I follow the rules.) Driving record at MVA I have not lost my cell phone, wallet, or debit card. (I am responsible.) Personal communication Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death for teenagers. (They don’t pay attention as well) NHTSA No previous experience with being responsible for something this potentially dangerous or expensive. Personal communication Synthesis

8/10/ C ONCLUDING S TATEMENT Synthesis Point out strengths and limitations of both claim and counterclaim I should be allowed to drive the family car as I have demonstrated responsibility, fulfilled the legal requirements, and have maintained control of my driving. Even though it is true that traffic accidents are a leading killer of teenagers, it is obvious since not all teenagers have accidents that there are many safe teenage drivers. In previous circumstances, when I have been given the opportunity to be responsible, I have demonstrated this attribute so a lack of experience is not a strong counterclaim. Synthesis Clarify relationships between claim and reasons, reasons and evidence, and claim and counterclaim. Claim Reason Backing Reason Backing Reason Backing
