Required Journal Entry 16: Planning Your Argument

Study the argument essay topics on page 167–168 in your digital study guide and choose your

topic for your argument. This journal entry will help you begin to plan, research, and organize

your paper. Please note that both topics are very broad, so you should narrow your chosen topic

appropriately to suit your purpose and interest as well as the research and length requirements.

Review "The Basic Parts of an Argument" on pages 514–520 in Successful College Writing. Once

you've chosen your topic and identified your issue (516), you need to develop support. According

to your text, the three common types of support for an argument are "reasons, evidence, and

emotional appeals" (517).

I. State your claim:

A. Identify the type of claim (fact, value or policy).

B. Explain your purpose or goal for your research paper.

II. Identify your reasons:

A. Reason 1

B. Reason 2

C. Reason 3

III. Start your research to develop support for your claim (provide at least two examples of

each):

A. Support your reasons with evidence

1. Facts*

2. Statistics*

3. Expert opinions*

4. Examples*

5. Personal Experiences

B. Identify your emotional appeals:

1. Appeal to needs

2. Appeal to values

* Cite your sources using MLA citation and documentation format (i.e., parenthetical citations and

a list of works cited).

To research effectively and efficiently, use the Expanded Academic ASAP database in Penn Foster's

digital library. For more information about using Expanded Academic ASAP or other library
