Classical Argument Final Essay

We'll discuss video essays and Henrietta on Wed, and have video essays due December 13.  The classical argument essay you'll email to me for the final time (whenever that is).  :)

From among the topics we've discussed, choose one that you have something to say about, something you can develop a prove-able point and argument around.

Classical Argument Format:

Introduction: Stylized and Dazzling

Background: Background information, historical information, groundwork (What is the basis of this argument?)

Argument: Probably 2 solid paragraphs

Counter-Argument: a nod to the other side, usually a paragraph

Rebuttal: countering-the counter argument "They have good points, but I'm still right because..." your best arguments should go here.

Conclusion: Stylized and Dazzling

Works Cited Page

You are required to incorporate 1-2 quotes per body paragraph, and have at least 3 different sources.
