– Multiple Paragraphs
– Introductory section:
● Provide relevant context
● State the problem or question to which you will respond and narrow your focus to the specific article you will write about
● Provide your answer to the question in the form of your claim. The best claims will clearly indicate the purposes of the writing to which you are responding, how successful you believe the writing was, and the specific techniques by which the article achieves this effect. (See the second paragraph of the sample essay on page 117 for an example.)
● Provide a roadmap of your paper that tells readers what you will claim in each section of your argument. (See the second paragraph of the sample essay on page 117 for an example.)
– Main Body:
• Lunsford and Rusziewicz advise that you should “try to show how key devices in an argument make it succeed or fail” (99-100). Thus, you should support the claims from your introduction by summarizing or quoting specific examples and analyzing them to demonstrate how they contribute to the effects you claim they produce. “If you believe that an argument startles, challenges, insults, or lulls audiences,” they write, “explain why that is the case and provide evidence” (100).
Paragraphs should be focused around making and supporting their own claim, having their own introductions, support, and conclusions. No minimum or maximum number of paragraphs is recommended.
– Conclusion:
Your conclusion should do the following:
• Remind your reader about your central question and claim
• Summarize your main points
• Reflect on the implications of your argument
