Classical Argument Format


Classical Argument Format for the final essay (due at the final time, whenever that is :)

From among the topics we've discussed, choose one that you have something to say about, something you can develop a prove-able point and argument around.

Classical Argument Format:

Introduction: Stylized and Dazzling

Background: Background information, historical information, groundwork (What is the basis of this argument?)

Argument: Probably 2 solid paragraphs

Counter-Argument: a nod to the other side, usually a paragraph

Rebuttal: countering-the counter argument "They have good points, but I'm still right because..." your best arguments should go here.

Conclusion: Stylized and Dazzling

Works Cited Page

You are required to incorporate 1-2 quotes per body paragraph, and have at least 3 different sources.
