    The document outlines the scaffold for an argumentative essay, suggesting it should include an introduction with a hook, arch, and thesis statement. Two to three body paragraphs should each make a claim, provide supportive arguments and reasons, cite evidence, and explain the evidence. A fourth paragraph should present and refute an opposing counterclaim with reasons, evidence, and explanation. The conclusion should reaffirm the thesis, summarize the main points, and provide a call to action.
