ESSENTIAL IDEA

When we hear the word “argument,” we know this as a heated

conversation. In academic writing, an argument is usually a main idea,
often called a “claim” or “thesis statement,” backed up with evidence that
supports the idea. The goal is to persuade people to agree with our claim
using facts. This is called argumentation

EXPLORE
Activity # 1: Raise or Clap!
The teacher will read the following statements. A random student will be
called to participate. If the student thinks the statement is true, he/she will raise
his/her hands and if the student thinks the statement is false, he/she will clap his/her
hands.

one side of an issue.

ABSTRACTION

An argumentative essay is a genre of writing that requires the student to investigate

a topic; collect, generate, and evaluate evidence; and establish a position on the
topic in a concise manner. It presents evidences for a claim in order to let the reader
know why it is more favorable. It also shows why the other side of an issue is
unfavorable or less favorable. It also includes, like any other essay, an introduction,
body, and conclusion.

The following are terms related to an argumentative essay:

Hook - First of all, think about

a powerful, eye-catching hook
to grab your reader's
attention. Sure, it is important
to know who your target
audience is first. Different
people require different
approaches.
