Essay Instructions: GUIDELINES FOR ARGUMENT PAPER

I.Derive logical outlines of the claims, reasons and support
from the various arguments that you have read and are
going to incorporate into your paper.


II.Evaluate the various positions and choose the side that
you believe is the most reasonable. Then, develop a
logical outline of the claim, reasons, and support for
your position.

III. STRUCTURE YOUR PAPER AS FOLLOWS: Essentially there are
two formulas for arguments, one for a ?advocacy? (pro)
argument where you are advocating a policy or action,
and another for a rebuttal (con) argument.

1.INTRODUCTION: Opening paragraph ? briefly state what the
debate is about, what the various sides argue, and your
conclusion. For example:

In the debate over __________, the supporters argue that______________because ______________. On the other side of the debate, the opponents argue that _____________ because ________. In this paper, I will argue that ________.

-Do not site authors here; you are generalizing about the
various positions.
-If you need to present any definitions or context relative
to the issue do that after the introduction and before the
main body of the paper.

II.BODY: most of you will have three parts to your paper.

A. If you are writing an ?advocacy? paper, in the first part
you will argue for the policy or action that you want the
reader to agree with. In the second part you will
address your opposition's arguments. In the third part
you will show why or how your position can still stand up
to the opposition.


In the article entitled, ?_______,? Jane Doe argues
that.....

B. If you are writing a ?rebuttal? paper, in the first part
you will present a summary of the proponent's arguments.
Second, you will present the arguments against that
position. In the final part you will argue why the
proponent's arguments do not successfully address the
opposition.

* Your paper will be based on the article that you will
read. For this paper, you are to go for "Animal Rights"
