Argument |
Arguments have three objectives: to explain, to persuade, and to mediate conflicts between positions or readers. Writers make logical claims- supported with reasons, evidence, and different appeals to advance their arguments. |
|
|
Claims |
Must be able to be argued and must require defense through evidence. Effective claims are precise, clear, and properly qualified. |
|
|
Evidence |
This would include quotations, observations, interviews, examples, facts, data, results from a survey or experiments, and when appropriates, personal experiences. |
|
|
Reasons |
Writers must base their claims and ideas on more than opinions when constructing an argument. Reasons demand evidence, and information. |
|
|
Counter-Argument |
Acknowledge and respond to the opposing side of the argument. It is best to acknowledge these other conflicting perspectives and respond to them by addressing their side with evidence. |
