When we return from break, you will be assigned your final essay assessment: the argumentative research essay. To give you an example on how to organize your essay, albeit an abridged one, you worked in groups to do the following items:
1. brainstorm several possible claims (you want to have options for research)
2. select your working claim (this may be changed, but you want to have a direction)
3. list all examples of evidence
4. group "like" evidence together
5. construct a warrant for each evidence grouping
6. write a counterclaim or select one from the brainstormed claims
7. provide evidence supporting the counterclaim
8. use a rebuttal with additional evidence supporting the original claim
9. construct a concluding statement
As you can see, there are many elements to an argumentative essay, and you will use the nine steps above to construct your essay.
Happy Thanksgiving!
