  1. for this pretty video we'll be talking about argument of essays.
  2. So um argument of essay starts with your intro.
  3. So your intro would include background information on your position.
  4. So you want the basic
  5. issue and then the position you are arguing and then your thesis
  6. statement which will um state the position for your overall essay.
  7. And then next would be our body paragraphs.
  8. Um since our papers are only going to be 300-350 words.
  9. Um We're going to do I would do three body paragraphs but the last one being your
  10. be the counter argument and responses.
  11. So so you're with your first two paragraphs
  12. those two paragraphs would be your arguments.
  13. So these would be your two main points for your argument.
  14. So be ready. So you start with
  15. Reason one and then evidence, evidence
  16. and the next paragraph. Reason to evidence, evidence.
  17. And then we would go on to the third paragraph. The third paragraph would include
  18. um
  19. other arguments from the other side and then you would refute these arguments.
  20. Now
  21. I would try not to make this longer than your other paragraphs.
  22. But sometimes that happens. And uh generally speaking most teachers
  23. I haven't had the jews have too much of a of a
  24. issue with my paper being
  25. um slightly not like
  26. structurally like the same on each paragraph. They don't usually care that much
  27. but I've had to just be like oh you need to turn this paragraph into two.
  28. But so but I'm sure we won't have that problem since this paper will be shorter.
  29. Um And then our conclusion which is restate, you know,
  30. your stuff and then some and summarize so some things I would keep in mind would be.
  31. Um
  32. So we're definitely going to have a citation page or our bibliography
  33. and it's important to keep this organized and you for M. L. A. Is
  34. um
  35. alphabetical. So
  36. keep that in mind.
  37. Um You can use citation machine which is a great website but you do have to watch an ad
  38. pretty often on it but that's not so bad. You can't make an account.
  39. But I mean the ads aren't that bad
  40. and um that helps a lot.
  41. Another thing I would keep in mind is uh there's a couple ways of site information. So
  42. when you can directly coat something and use your quotations right? But you can also
  43. summarize a point in a text or a website and then and then
  44. put your
  45. put the site inside the page. So you don't have to like directly cite it.
  46. But you can talk about the information and still site it if that makes sense.
  47. Um Pretty well. Great website always recommend.
  48. Um
  49. I would
  50. probably use it.
  51. I would probably do an outline for this paper as well because it is hard um
  52. to keep this type of stuff
  53. organized right? Because
  54. it's uh
  55. there's gonna be a lot of information that you're
  56. gonna need from different sources and stuff like that.
  57. So you're gonna want to keep it organized, so an outline will help you a lot.
  58. And it might look a little this outline might look a little
  59. different than a normal outline because it is an argumentative essay.
  60. So I'll keep that in mind as well.
  61. Um
  62. Oh um with your counter arguments,
  63. I think one of the biggest things I learned from teachers before teachers
  64. now is you want to keep your counter arguments something you can refuse.
  65. So sometimes
  66. there's like there's things you want to argue that there
  67. is not much information that you can refute this argument.
  68. So like
  69. if your argument is like facts and you can't argue at all, maybe you might want to
  70. um think of another
  71. think you can write about because
  72. sometimes it's a little hard to
  73. write about something you can't really argue against if that makes sense.
  74. Like most things they can but like I would say steer
  75. into something that is
  76. easier to um
  77. argue
  78. and and refute
  79. oh
  80. sorry my laptop turned off. I didn't touch it for a minute.
  81. Um Other than that background information um
  82. for your intro is important. So but you don't want to put too much in for a reason.
  83. Show basic information for that paragraph and then you
  84. want to get into detail into your body paragraphs.
  85. Um
  86. I think that's all information I needed to talk about
