]]> 2022-10-24 03:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/enails1/dxf38umwejqfgss1/wish/2352905357 What is an Argumentative Thesis? enails1 https://padlet.com/enails1/dxf38umwejqfgss1/wish/2352915034 As we noted earlier, an argumentative thesis is a statement that entails a discussible and debatable topic that this provided by evidence.
 
An argumentative thesis statement must be debatable, assertive, reasonable, evidence-based, and focused.

An Argumentative Thesis must:
- Make a claim where reasonable people can disagree
- Take a stance and assert your claim
- Have a reasonable and logical claim
- Be supported by evidence 
- Be focused and narrow]]> 2022-10-24 03:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/enails1/dxf38umwejqfgss1/wish/2352915034 Argumentative Thesis Cont. enails1 https://padlet.com/enails1/dxf38umwejqfgss1/wish/2352932059
For your essays, you will be using the CONCESSION-THESIS-REASON model

This model starts with the CONCESSION 
– the concession is where you recognize the opposing side’s strongest argument.

Then we do the THESIS
– the statement that will be the main argument of your paper

Lastly is REASONS 
– the reasons are the main points that will support your argument.

- Despite the fact that buying locally grown food can be inconvenient [ Concession], we should make every effort to “eat local” [Thesis] because it’s better for our health, it supports our local community, and it benefits the environment [Reasons].
