Step 1: Take a stance – Which side are you going to argue? – You must pick ONE side. – Neither side of this argument is right or wrong. It is entirely up to you which side you are on, and as long as you are persuasive, you will be right. Now take 2 minutes to decide which stance you are going to take. At the top of 4R, write “Step 1: Topic + Stance.” (Example: Middle school students should wear uniforms.) (I’m using uniforms as my example… you are writing about one of the topics from your prompt.)

Argumentative Essay Pre-Writing (4R) Step 2: Identify your audience – Who is my intended audience (prompt)? – Should my essay be formal or casual? – What am I going to need to say to convince my audience into thinking the way I am thinking? Now take 2-3 minutes to answer these questions under step 1.

21. Argumentative Essay Pre-Writing (4R) Step 3: What are some opinions and facts that will support my stance? – Here is your chance to show why you are correct in thinking that middle school students should or should not wear uniforms. – Remember that facts can be proven and opinions are judgments based on likes and dislikes. Now, under step 2, take 5 minutes to create a T chart listing 5 facts and 5 opinions that support your stance. (Next slide has an example of what to write…)

Now, take 2 minutes to circle your 3 main arguments as Step 4. You should brainstorm ways to prove these reasons with evidence.

24. Argumentative Essay Pre-Writing (4R) Step 5: Anticipate the counterargument. – You want to be ready for what the audience might say in response to your reasons. – What might your audience say after hearing your arguments? (Counterclaim) – How would you respond to that? (counterargument) Now, take 3 minutes to answer the two underlined questions above as Step 5 of these notes.
