Classical Argument Strategy

This is the most popular argument strategy and is the one outlined in this article. In this strategy, you present the problem, state your solution, and try to convince the reader that your solution is the best solution. Your audience may be uninformed, or they may not have a strong opinion. Your job is to make them care about the topic and agree with your position.
Here is the basic outline of a classical argument paper:
  • Introduction: Get readers interest and attention, state the problem and explain why they should care.
  • Background: Provide some context and key facts surrounding the problem.
  • Thesis: State your position or claim and outline your main arguments.
  • Argument: Discuss the reasons for your position and present evidence to support it (largest section of paper—the main body).
  • Refutation: Convince the reader why opposing arguments are not true or valid.
  • Conclusion: Summarize your main points, discuss their implications, and state why your position is the best position.
