The Effective Reader (Updated Edition) by D. J. Henry Chapter 10: The Basics of Argument PowerPoint Presentation by Gretchen Starks-Martin St Cloud State University, MN © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers

Argument An argument is made up of two types of statements: Author’s claim: the main point of the argument The supports: the evidence or reasons that support the author’s claim.

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers Step 1: Identify the Author’s Claim and Supports. Gladiator is a movie worth seeing. It was nominated for 12 Oscars and won 5. It is a story about love, courage, and heroism. It is full of non-stop action. These three statements support the author’s claim.

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers Step 1: Identify the Author’s Claim and Supports. Working long hours on the computer should be avoided. (claim) While working on the computer our eyes don’t blink as often, and they dry out, causing eyestrain. (support) Extended computer sessions may cause blurred vision and sensitivity to light. (support)

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers Step 2: Decide Whether the Supports are Relevant. Online shopping offers a lot of benefits. You can shop anytime. You don’t have to leave home. You can’t try clothes on to see if they fit. You have to pay postage for returned items. Which items are relevant?

R You don’t have to leave home. N-R You can’t try clothes on to see if they fit. N-R You have to pay postage for returned items.

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers Step 3: Decide Whether the Supports Are Adequate. Not enough support: “A vegetarian diet is a more healthful diet. I feel much better since I became a vegetarian.” The support is inadequate. It should include expert opinions and facts, not just personal opinion.

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers Example of support: “Muscles burn more calories than fat.” One pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day. One pound of fat burns 2 calories a day. Two pounds of muscle can burn up 10 pounds of fat in one year.

© 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Longman Publishers The Logic of Argument Most textbooks rely on research by experts, and these experts may have differing views on the same topic. Textbook arguments are usually well developed with supports that are relevant and adequate: studies, surveys, expert opinions, experiments, theories, examples, or reasons. Textbooks may also offer graphs, charts, and photos as supports.
