Tips:

  • Argument vs Evidence!
    • Argument: “…social media can affect our ability to make real friends…
    • Evidence: “Matt Brashears…says that in the past 20 years fewer and fewer Americans have intimate friendships. (Source #1)”
  • Read the directions first!
  • Mark up the articles; highlight/circle the evidence you want to use (1, 2) for your arguments and the opposing argument and the rebuttal (argument 3).
  • Remember to cite the sources! (“According to Source #1…”)
  • Be sure to use something from all three sources.
  • THESIS! THESIS! THESIS!
  • a) Intro w/THESIS  b) Arg #1 + evidence  c) Arg #2 + evidence  d) Oppo + Arg #3 rebuttal  e) Conc.
  • Take your time! You have plenty!
  • PROOFREAD!
