Argument Essay Checklist
1- State your topic and the opinion that you will use to
create your thesis statement.
My topic
for the Argument Essay is dating with a purpose. My opinion is the purpose of dating is to
find the person you will marry and one should wait to date until they are ready
to think about marriage. I do not think
dating should be as recreational as it is these days.
2- What is the counter-argument to your main idea?
Dating
recreationally at a young age provides experience in relationships that can be
useful when you are ready for marriage.
It also helps fitting in socially as dating is the “norm” amongst this
generation.
3- What is the common ground between your point and the
opposing side?
Both my
opinion and the opposing opinion both are trying to help build lasting
relationships and marriages.
4- Provide one example each of your ethos, pathos, and
logos.
Ethos -
Being a teenager and going through these experiences myself, give me the
credibility necessary to write this argument.
Pathos -
The emotional appeal to my argument is that you will save yourself from many
tears, heartbreak, mental scarring and baggage.
Logos -
Logically speaking, there is no point to dating until you are looking for your
future spouse. Dating recreationally
would be a waste of time and money.
5- State what you think your logical fallacy will be
about your topic.
My would
probably be the assumption that dating without a purpose is a waste of time and
can hurt future relationships.
