Here is an outline from this site:

  • Paragraph 1: General introduction of the problem. Thesis statement which states your opinion.

  • Paragraph 2-3: History of the problem (including, perhaps, past attempts at a solution). Sources needed

  • Paragraph 4-6: Extent of the problem (who is affected; how bad is it, etc.). Sources needed

  • Paragraphs 7-8: Repercussion of the problem if not solved. Sources needed.

  • Paragraphs 9-10: You should have led up to a conclusion that your argument is sound. Pull it all together by connecting your argument with the facts. Anticipate objections and make concessions.

  • Paragraph 11: Conclusion: Restatement of thesis and summary of main ideas.

Good day dhanuh!

The art of argumentation is not an easy skill to acquire. Writers of argumentation often forget that their primary purpose in an argument is to “win” it–to sway the reader to accept their point of view.

In writing and argumentative essay first thing you would do is: what do you write about? Pick a well-defined, controversial issue. The issue must be arguable. Clear position taken by the writer. In your thesis sentence, state what your position is. A convincing argument. which presents an argument, and that argument must be backed up by data that persuades readers that the opinion is valid. A reasonable tone. Assume that your reader will disagree with you or be skeptical. It is important, therefore, that your tone be reasonable, professional, and trustworthy.

Few tips in writing and argumentative essay. Hope its help.
