T gives Ss some tips on writing an argument essay.
Give a clear thesis statement.
T: Your thesis statement will be a concise idea that sums up your view on the issue. It is not merely a statement of a fact; instead, it sums up your views on the issue. You need to make the thesis statement clear and concise. It usually appears at the end of the introductory paragraph. Having this idea in mind early on will help guide your reader through the rest of the argument essay.
Give a mix of evidence.
T: We can use reasoning, facts, quotes of experts, statistics from studies or surveys and examples to support our points. Remember that your evidence should be relevant. That is, your evidence should be able to support your argument. Also, your evidence should be reliable and believable.
Use convincing language.
T: Here are some sentence structures for showing opinion, for reasoning and for giving examples and drawing a conclusion.
