Write an Argument Essay: The Body Paragraphs Now
that you've introduced the issues involved and established your point
of view (thesis) in the introduction paragraph, it's time to really make
your case. In the first body paragraph, clearly present the strongest
points that support your thesis, and provide additional evidence and
details for each to strengthen your argument. Make sure you order your
supporting points appropriately and use transition words (which you can
still find here) to tie your ideas together.
In
your second body paragraph you want to make sure to acknowledge the
opposing point of view, but then refute it. Explain using evidence why
this line of reasoning is wrong.
Make sure you check the 'Body Paragraphs Checklist' before moving on.
