Suggested Organization for a Classic
Argument
1. Introduction: Give the context and
background of your issue. Establish the
style, tone, and significance of your issue.
2. State Your Case: Clarify your issue here.
Give any necessary background for
understanding the issues. Define
important terms or conditions here.

3. Proposition: State your central proposition.
Be sure that your hook presents an issue that
is open to debate. Present the subtopics or
supportive points to forecast your argument
for your reader.
4. Refutation: Analyze the opposition’s
argument and summarize it; refute or address
the points; point out faulty reasoning and
inappropriate appeals.

5. Substantiation and Proof: Present and
develop your own case. Carefully plan your
disclosure; avoid logical fallacies. Rely
primarily on reasoning for your appeal and use
emotional appeals carefully; use examples,
facts, experts, and statistics. Develop your
argument using the appropriate prose strategy,
e.g., causal analysis, comparison, analogies, or
definitions.

6. Conclusion: Conclude with conviction.
Review your main points and state your claims
strongly. Make a strong plea for action, or
invite your readers to refute your argument.
