Points with Evidence
Look at the YouTube clip regarding points and evidence for your Argumentative Essay.
The whole purpose of your essay is to prove the claim you make in your thesis. How is this done? This is accomplished by choosing points or sub-points to include in the paper about the claim. Within the points and sub-points, there should be evidence to support them. To say, “because that’s what I believe,” is inappropriate and not substantial for this type of essay.
The only time a personal example may be included is if you experienced it firsthand; if this is used, it is only used as one source of evidence and has a paragraph or two (if applicable).
ASSIGNMENT:
List the points that will become paragraphs in your paper. What kind of evidence will you use for each point?
