In your essay draft, as Graff says, “Make it an argument that counts.” However, make it an argument you can undertake a final essay of 6 to 7 pages.
In this assignment, you are articulating and developing an argument thesis, claims and support/evidence that will be used in all three drafts of this essay between weeks three and ten of the term.
These are the instructions for the first draft of the argument essay.
This formal academic research-based argument essay requires inquiry, research and critical thinking on your part since this is an argument driven, where evidence must be provided as support. Therefore, the essay you write cannot be merely a report on your chosen topic, because a report only informs the reader, it does not argue a stance. Overall, this first draft shows your preliminary argument.
