he assertion is one of the most important parts of an essay- especially an

argumentative one- so it’s very important that you know how to write them.

The assertion is where you make a claim and/or clearly define the side you
want to argue. It's easy to get lost when coming up with assertions. . Here’s a
quick guide to help you write perfect assertions for your essay.

Be knowledgeable
Before you start writing your assertions, make sure your facts are straight. Do
some research on the subject, and collect any important information that you
might need. Remember, every topic has two sides to it. 

Learn what they are, the pros and cons of each, and then compare. Be extra
vigilant when looking for sources. There should be a reputable source behind
any claim, so that you can be sure they’re accurate.

Back it all up
Your assertions needs to be a stable throughout. One of the best ways to hold
up your assertions is to surround them with your research findings. I
recommend following the assertion, evidence, commentary rubric. 

An essay asserting that Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man would be true,
but unconvincing if you don’t have enough evidence to support it, and
commentary to explain yourself? In addition, be careful not to stray too far
away from your topic when using evidence. Use your thesis statement as a
stabilizing guide while you are writing. 

Be clear and concise

Since each assertion lets you take a stand on your topic, it’s very important
that you keep things clear and concise. Don’t beat around the bush. State your
claim during the introduction, but don’t elaborate extensively yet. That’s for the
latter parts of the essay. There’s also no need to use too many adjectives. Just
keep everything short and to the point. Ideally, an assertion is only one
sentence long, much like a thesis statement.
Be thematic
Once you’ve written your assertions down, you can proceed with the rest of
your essay. You have to keep in mind that your essay’s structure has to be
built around the assertions that you made in the first place. This means that
most of the things you write afterwards should support and corroborate your
assertions, and not contradict them. 

You can present differing evidence, but be sure that they are used as possible
counter-arguments, and address them efficiently in your essay.
