Researched Argument

With your target audience already established (Part 1), you will write a 5-6 page research paper, identifying a debatable issue within your field, evaluate “what’s being said” (a mini literature review) by scholars regarding the issue, and take a stance- make a claim and support it with evidence. Your goals for this formal research paper are the following: 1) use the audience analysis information (Part: 1) to guide the writing process and research; 2) become the subject matter expert by thoroughly researching your issue; and 3) present ALL sides of the issue.

10- Paragraph Essay Structure

Introduction (Brief)

  • Hook statement
  • Thesis

“What’s being said?” (Body paragraphs 1-3)

  • P1: Your job is to explain what other scholars are saying about your topic. Do not introduce your argument here- just offer a summary in this section. You will need in-text/summary citations.
  • P2: Praise something about the other scholars’ opposing viewpoints. Acknowledge their contributions.
  • P3: Now you will critique what’s being said. Describe something limited, or wrong, or questionable, or outdated about the other viewpoints. You are not TRASHING other scholars; you are simply pointing out “cracks in the foundation”- the gap(s) that will lead you to your main argument.

“I Say!” (Body paragraphs 4-6)

  • P4-6: Transition from talking about other literature to describing your argument. Develop your argument with sources and facts.
  • Shift focus: Describe WHY the difference between your argument and the other viewpoints matters. These paragraphs explain why it is meaningful that the other scholars think one way and you think another.
  • Return to acknowledging/praising opposing scholars’ works and graciously remind the audience about scholars’ weak arguments. Finally, emphasize your argument by restating your thesis statement.

“So What?” (Body paragraphs 7-8)

Conclusion “The Return!”
