Essay>Invention>The Argumentative Thesis Statement


In an argumentative paper, you are making a claim about a topic and justifying this claim with reasons and evidence. This claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. However, this claim must be a statement that people could possibly disagree with because the goal of your paper is to convince your audience that your claim is true based on your presentation of your reasons and evidence. An argumentative thesis statement will tell your audience:
• Your claim or assertion
• The reasons/evidence that support this claim
• The order in which you will be presenting your reasons and evidence
Example: All mid 80’s pop stars should be required to continue wearing their hair like they did in 1985.
A reader who encountered this thesis would expect to be presented with an argument and evidence that convinces him or her that 80’s rockstars should be subjected to this treatment.
Ask yourself these questions while you work on your thesis:
• What is my claim or assertion?
• What are the reasons I have to support my claim or assertion?
• In what order should I present my reasons?
