What is It

Now, let us study the concepts related to your activity.

Manifesto. This refers to a published declaration of the intentions, motives, or
views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government.

Argumentative writing. A kind of writing where the students establish a position in

a given topic and then use evidence to persuade the audience to see things from their
point of view. To write a great argumentatively, the students first have to investigate
several sides of the argument, which allows them to make an educated stance. Then,
they have to collect evidence, including facts, statistics, and claims from experts in
the topic’s field.
Argument. In academic writing, this is usually a main idea, often called a “claim”
or “thesis statement,” backed up with evidence that supports the idea.

Analyzing an Issue and Developing an Argument

Once your topic is selected, you should do some research on the subject
matter. While you may already have an opinion on your topic and an idea about which
side of the argument you want to take, you need to ensure that your position is
well supported. Listing the pro and con sides of the topic will help you examine your
ability to support your counterclaims, along with a list of supporting evidence for both
sides.
