During today's class, we created an outline for an argumentation essay on women in the military. The process, which you may use when constructing your actual essay, commences with brainstorming possible claims, selecting the claim that would have the most evidence or be easiest to argue, listing evidence, grouping similar evidence, and composing warrants for each evidence grouping. Phew! However, we were not finished with argumentation. Next up, you selected a counterclaim (which could be one of your brainstormed claims), incorporated evidence to support the counterclaim, composed a rebuttal statement with evidence, and finished off the writing with a concluding sentence.
For the remainder of class, we discussed your argumentation essay and the requirements for its completion. While we did not finish all the due dates and steps, you are more than welcome to start your source pages for the textbook essays.
