Warm-up: Copy these tips for argumentative essays, and circle the tips which you think you really need to focus on
1. Your support should be rational and logical, not just emotional.
2. Classical arrangement = present the issue, state the your position, support your claim, acknowledge and respond to opposing views, conclusion
3. Conclusions should not just restate previous points. Use them to appeal to ethics, express a universal truth that you supported, etc.
4. Make sure that you explain how any example that you use helps to prove that your position is correct.
5. Avoid using evidence/examples that are not extremely well connected, are too vague, or that contain logical fallacies.
