         <description><![CDATA[<div>1) <strong>Non example</strong>: I don't like dress codes.<br><strong>Example:</strong> Dress codes are not beneficial to students because they are a violation of freedom of speech.<br><strong>Justification:</strong> The non-example is just someone's opinion and it is not arguing anything. My example that I made works because I am making a claim that can be debated. From this thesis, I could write an argumentative essay.<br><br>2) <strong>Non example:</strong> I'm going to tell you about the strengths and weaknesses of Abbey Phillip's article "The Assortment of Loss." <br><strong>Example:</strong> Abbey Phillip's article, "The Assortment of Loss," has many strengths and weaknesses.<br><strong>Justification: </strong>The non example is just stating what the paper will be about, rather than making a claim. My example turned that statement into an argument, even though it is not a strong one. <strong><br></strong><br>3) <strong>Non example:</strong> Social media and technology<br><strong>Example:</strong> Social media and technology have created many benefits for 21st century people, as they allow people to connect from the farthest reaches of the world. <br><strong>Justification:</strong> The non example is an incomplete sentence. My example stayed on the same topic, but turned it into an argument.</div>]]></description>
