what exactly is an argumentative
essay?
An argumentative essay is a written form of argumentation. It also presents evidence
for a claim to let the reader know why it is more favorable. This even shows why the
other side of an issue is unfavorable or less favorable. An argumentative essay
includes, like any other essay, an introduction, and conclusion.

An argumentative essay is a piece of writing that takes a stance on an issue. In a good


argumentative essay, a writer attempts to persuade readers to understand and
support their point of view about an issue by stating their reasoning and providing
evidence to support it. Argumentative essay writing is a common assignment for high
school and college students. Generally, argumentative essay topics are related to
science, technology, politics, and health care.  
The following are terms related to an argumentative essay:
1. Issue – an idea about which the opinions of people are different.
2. Claim – a statement by an author about an issue. A claim has a significant
amount of disagreement about it. A claim needs supporting arguments. A claim is
also called a position, stand, or point of view.
3. Argument – an idea that supports the claim. An argument needs supporting
evidence.
4. Evidence – facts in the real world that can be used to support an argument.
Examples of evidence are statistics, data from studies, historical events, habitual
practices, and other facts that can support an argument.
5. Counterargument – an idea given by the opposing side against the claim given in
the argumentative essay.
6. Rebuttal – the response to the counterargument.
7. Pro – an argument in favor of a claim or advantage regarding something.
8. Con - an argument against a claim or disadvantage regarding something.

thinking and research skills along with developing how to rationally defend a
position. These skills will help you progress academically and occupationally.
Argumentative essays have the following elements: claim, arguments, evidence,

1. INTRODUCTION 
– it is an introductory paragraph; it is at the start of
the essay.
Components of - this is called the “gateway” of an essay.

Example:

Why should we ditch our fancy, high-priced, gas-


Components of guzzling sports car and pick up a low-tech
bicycle? Well, we should all choose to take the old
argumentative fashion route because there are money benefits to
riding a bike around town. Although it may be
essay more work, a bicycle’s benefits will outweigh a
car’s dangerous fumes any day. People should be
encouraged to commute by bicycle rather than by
car.

Group 4
2nd component-BODY
– it is the body paragraph where facts of the given thesis statements of the
essay are written.
- it is where the arguments are written to support the statements.

Example:
(1st Argument) Financial commuting costs for a bicycle are considerably
less than for a car. A brand new car costs a million pesos and it uses
expensive fuel to let it run and move, while a bicycle will only cost more
than one thousand pesos but does not need any fuel, and it uses body
energy to pedal and move.
3rd
component-REFUTATION/COUNTERA
RGUMENT
– it is the argument to refute earlier arguments and give weight to the
actual position.
Example: (Counterargument) Some say that riding a bike would increase
commuting time and decrease productivity. (Rebuttal) Commuting by
bicycle would mean avoiding rush hour traffic jams and helping them be
early or on time for an appointment.

– it is rephrasing the thesis statement, major points,


calling attention, or just having the concluding remarks. It
even has some recommendations. 
4th component-
Example: We should choose to ride a bicycle. This will not
only be less expensive and fuel-free but it gives us a
healthy body. Finally, it brings us to our destination on
CONCLUSION
time or even earlier to avoid traffic jams.

Group 4
Argument teaches us how to assess competing
assertions, as well as how to analyze evidence and
investigative methods. Argument teaches us to clarify our
thoughts and articulate them honestly and accurately, as
well as to consider the ideas of others respectfully and
critically. Additionally, understanding the important
elements in argument essays can help you construct more
logical arguments and ultimately write more persuasively.
