Or
ganization:
Your paper should follow the classic argument pattern, or a variation of it, as specified by your
textbook. A classic argument contains the following components:
I.
Introduction: In the introduction, you slowly lead your audience into the topic
by
introducing it and connecting it to them.
II.
Narration: The narration is where you give all necessary background and context so your
audience can understand the topic. You might do any or all of the following: give
historical background; define special
ized terms; explain the extent of any problems
presented within the topic; explain how the topic is controversial.
III.
Partition: The partition, in short, is your thesis, or claim. It should meet two criteria: it
should be arguable, and it should be
defendable.
IV.
Argument: If the partition is the claim, this is where you support that claim with topic
sentences, or sub

claims, that bolster and prove the thesis. Remember to use outside
sources to illustrate or support your ideas, and avoid fallacies at
all costs. Solid
argument, remember, is built upon solid reasoning.
V.
Refutation: Here, you first acknowledge opposing viewpoints, and then show why your
viewpoint is preferable to all others.
VI.
Conclusion: As in previous essays, your conclusion should tie
up all loose ends, reiterate
the main idea, and then end on a thought

provoking note. Usually, an argument ends
with a call to action.
For this assignment, you will begin the writing process for Essay 4 by using a prewriting strategy. Specifically, you will explore potential topics for Essay 4 through
one of the following:
•    Clustering – making a map of ideas and showing how those ideas relate to one another
•    Listing – compiling a list of ideas to see how many ideas you can generate
•    Freewriting – writing nonstop for five minutes to see what ideas pour onto the page; when you freewrite, you do not worry about grammar or development since
the primary goal is to generate ideas
Select one of the above prewriting strategies and explore as many topics as possible for Essay 4. After you post your prewriting process, reply to two classmate
postings. Your replies will be judged according to the established discussion criteria.
Note: You can use the Paint program (or similar program) on your computer to make a “digital.’ cluster that you can upload for this assignment (view “Prewriting
Strategies: Parts I and II for an example of how to make a digital cluster). When you are finished making your cluster, save it as a JPEG image.
