Outline of an Argumentative Essay – Classical Pattern I.

I.

Introduction

A. A. Background Information: basic information about the issue (i.e. euthanasia)

and the position being argued (i.e. euthanasia should/should not be allowed). B. Thesis Statement: states the position to be argued in the essay II.

II.

Reasons that Support the Thesis Statement

A. A. Reason/Argument 1 (main point #1) 1. 1. Supporting paragraph 1 2. 2. Supporting paragraph 2 B. B. Reason/Argument 2 (main point #2) 1. 1. Supporting paragraph 1 2. 2. Supporting paragraph 2 C. C. Reason/Argument 3 (main point #3) 1. 1. Supporting paragraph 1 2. 2. Supporting paragraph 2, etc.

Notes about reasons/arguments section: 1. 1.

Since this is a longer paper, you will most likely have more than one paragraph per main point. This means that your discussion will be more detailed.

2. 2.

Think carefully about how you order your reasons/arguments. Possible ways to order your arguments include most familiar→least familiar or least important (weakest)→most important (strongest).

III.

III.

Counter Arguments and Responses to Them

A. A. Mention the arguments from the other side of the issue (i.e. if you’re arguing that

euthanasia should be legal in the US, mention the arguments from the people who think that euthanasia should not be legal.) B. B. Briefly refute the other side’s arguments

Note: This section could be placed in the paragraph following the introduction. IV.
