reader to agree with the writers point of view.
The goal of argumentative essay is to make an argument
using evidences and research to back up the point rather
than dealing with mere thoughts and feelings.

Anybody from the class, who can give me the different

parts of an argumentative essay? Actually all essays have
the same parts or structure. Anyone who can identify
them?

Exactly! Those are the 3 main parts of an essay Introduction, body and conclusion.

to some writing is really a difficult task to do, how about

you guys? Do you know how to write an argumentative
essay?

All you have to do is to follow the structure, what is it

again ( enumerate)

For you to know what to write on each part, let us discuss

each ones content.

Let start with the introduction, what do you write an

introduction?

First is the introductory paragraph wherein it inroduces

the problem and gives the background information
needed for the argument and thesis statement.

You must hook the readers interest imediately, do not

assumed that your audience is already familiar with your
topic.

That’s right, the thesis statement is your claim as the

writer, it is also the second part of an argumentative
essay
(Students will read silently)

It is also called as the authors claim which is your opinion

or p[osition in an issue

It is part of an introduction.

Lets study this example

Aggressive Driving Should be Avoided

Aggressive driving is a phenomenon, which

has only recently got the public worried. The
National Highway Traffic Safety Council
(NHTSC) defines aggressive driving as “the
operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that
endangers or is likely to endanger persons or
property”. Actions such as running red lights,
improper passing, overtaking on the left,
improper lane change, failing to yield,
improper turns, running stop signs, tailgaiting,
careless driving and speeding are examples of
aggressive driving. Such actions are
dangerous to other road users. Aggressive
driving should be avoided because it causes
crashes, injuries and fatalities.
Aggressive driving should be avoided because it
causes crashes, injuries and fatalities.
What do you think is the thesis statement?

statement?

If you notice in the introductory paragraph, it talks about

the background and definition of aggressive driving which
is Aggressive driving should be avoided
because it causes crashes, injuries and
fatalities.

the main topic of the essay, then it is imediately followed

by the author’s claim which is the stand of the author on
the topic.remember don’t explain all your evidence in the
opening but do make a strong stand and make it clear
what you are discussing.

Easy,right?

Let’s move on to the third part which is the body of the

essay.it contains the reasons that you use to support your
thesis, the reasons are included in the thesis statement
and are supported with evidences, facts, statistics,
personal experiences,or research.these will be the
backbone of your arguments, remember each reason will
be included in one paragraph, listen to this example for
better understanding.

First part of the body

The first reason why aggressive driving should

be avoided is it causes crashes. According to
NHTSC between 78 percent (excessive
speed) and 100 percent (improper passing) of
the cases of aggressive driving resulted in
traffic crashes

Second part of the body An argumentative essay attempts to be highly persuasive

Another reason why aggressive driving should
be avoided is it causes injuries.NHTSC states
that the percentages of the injuries caused by
aggressive driving are, in almost all categories
of aggressive driving, above 100 percent
and logical. It usually assumes that the reader disagrees
with the writer, but it should be noted that the reader is
no less intelligent than the writer. Hence, an
argumentative essay should be written objectively and
logically.

Third part of the body

aggressive driving should be avoided is it

causes fatalities. (14)”Overtaking on the left”
appears to be the most important contributing
factor in traffic fatalities as it relates to
Yes ma’am!
aggressive driving
Crashes
There you go, did you listen well? Injuries
fatalities
Let’s see, what are the 3 effects of aggressive driving?
That’s great, they are crashes, injuries, and fatalities, you
really listened well.If you have noticed, these 3 effects
mentioned are also mentioned in the thesis statement
which is found in the introduction.to remind you, our
thesis statement again is,

Aggressive driving should be avoided because it

causes crashes, injuries and fatalities.

Therefore the effects were only elaboarated in

each paragraph supported by facts and
research.

Are you still with me, grade 10?

Let’s move on to the last 3 parts of argumentative essay, they

are the counter claim, rebuttle and conclusion. because it is a paragraph that restate your thesis and sumarizes
the arguments you made in your body paragraph,rather than
introducing new facts or more arguments, a good conclusion will
To a basic essay, this 3 parts are only called the conclusion. apeal to the audience emotions

Why do you think so ? it is because your reader might bring up something to disagree
with your position

So why is there a need for a counter claim?

Yah right, this will serve as your claim or reason, after which the
rebattle immediately follows the counterclaim , this is your
response to the counter claim, this negates or disagree to the
counter claimgiven, in this part you should have the last word by
giving a concrete part of evidence to strenthen your claim. To
make it a lot simpler the counter claim and the rebattle are both
parts of the conclusion.

Can you still follow?

Marvelous!
Here’s the example of the last 3 parts.
The above evidence shows that aggressive
driving causes crashes, injuries and fatalities.
Hence, aggressive driving should be avoided.
Since the opening of the North-South
Highway, the number of kilometers of roads in
the country has increased by one percent
while the number of vehicle miles driven has
increased by 35 percent. More cars and more
drivers are also on the road, leading to more
aggressive drivers.

And that’s it, those are the parts or structure of argumentative

essay.just follow the structure and nothing will go wrong.

This time since you already know what to write in each part, I
also want you to use of the language features of an
argumentative text . I know you have gone through this topicm
so it will be a lot easier for you.What are these again?

1.They are the uses of modals like, should, must, may , might,
will, and more

2. the use of conjunctions or connectives such as because,

although, on the other hand , therefore, in order that, and as
much as, etc.

3, the use of implicit and explicit language, and we are almost

done with the discussion

Ok, before we proceed on your output for today, let me give you
some key tips in writing your argumentative essay, so to help
you do it perfectly, I suggest you to take down notes so you wont
forget.

Are you ready?

Here are your additional key tips.

1. Focus, its important to stay focus, be clear in your thesis and

home in on claims that directly supports that thesis.
2. Be rational, its important that your claims and evidence be
based in facts not just opinion.
3. Strong conclusion and by suggesting a picture of a world in
which your argument and action are ignored, this increases the
impact of your argument and leaves a lasting impression on the
reader.
4.Create a strong thesis, this is the foundation on whcic your
essay is built so it needs to be strong and well reasoned

5.Present and explain the issue or case gives reasons and

support these reasons to prove its point, and reputes proves
wrong opposing arguments.

And there you have it, grade 10 learners.
