You need a claim, evidence, and support. Make your argument sincere and not so demanding. You also have to have a strong conclusion. The conclusion wraps everything up. ]]> 2017-02-07 14:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kileyeaster/k2xdc2xnl7pg/wish/152145338 kileyeaster https://padlet.com/kileyeaster/k2xdc2xnl7pg/wish/152145438 What makes you want to listen/read an argument?

~Politicians
~T.V. commercials
~Lawyers

There is a difference between fighting and arguing

A formal argument states a position on a substantive topic and then supports that position with reasons and evidence.

Arguing EX:
~You want your parents to let you try out for a team.
~The state wants to past a stricter helmet law.
~A friend wants you to help volunteer somewhere.

Strong Argument
~show that you understand  the issue
~includes a precise claim
~provides logical reasons
~support your reasons
~be respectful
~organizes reasons and evidence logically
~clearly shows the relationships between ideas
~has a formal style and confident tone
~concludes with a restatement of a claim

Make your readers want to take action after reading your argument.

A claim is a writers position on a problem or issue.
EX: People should not be allowed to.......

Why make a claim?
~to respond to a statement or something you disagree or agree with
~to convince someone of your position
~to persuade someone to do something
~to challenge commonly-held view

Have a clear, specific claim or people won't be convinced.

Every argument has two sides and not everyone will agree with your side.

An opposing claim is and objection that you anticipate from your opponent.(showing reasons to your claim)

A counterclaim is your response to that objection.

Support is material that is used to prove a claim. In an argument, support usually consists of reasons and evidence.

Evidence
~Facts
~Examples
