Argumentative Writing Because everyone likes to be right!

Argumentative writing has one main purpose: To assert your opinion on a topic To do this you may be influencing or persuading your audience to do something.

The Argumentative Essay 1.The argumentative essay begins with a claim statement which asserts/states your purpose. Ex: Pollution is causing global warming, and people need to be smarter about energy usage in order to stop pollution’s harmful effects. Ex: School uniforms are necessary to improve a school’s atmosphere.

2.Uses logical reasons to support the claim. –Reasons come from your own personal beliefs 3. Uses credible facts from researching to support your reasons. –Credible facts include a. Research Studies b. Statistics  Ex: “According to a study done by the Environmental Protection Agency the ozone is depleting due to harmful emissions.”  Ex: “Studies have shown that in a Southern California school district, fights decreased 15% from 2009 to 2011 due to the institution of school uniforms.”

c.Emotional tactics 5. Ends with a closing statement that drives home your purpose.  Ex: Wouldn’t you rather be in school with safe environment rather than one with hostility and fear around every bend?
