What are you wanting to say in your essay.... what do you have so far?

Answer 6

1. Choose a controversial topic, an issue on which you can take a position and argue
that position. If a topic or issue does not have more than one side to consider,
then you cannot argue it. EXAMPLE: Child abuse is wrong is not arguable. No
sane person believes differently.

2. Once you have a controversial topic, then you take a Position (also known as
claim or warrant) your hypothesis.

3. Reasons for position

4. Anticipating Reader concerns and questions

5. Answering reader concerns and questions

6. Acknowledging opposing views, positions and arguments

7. Accommodating valid opposition points

8. Refuting remaining opposition points

9. Conclusion—reminding reader of position and reasons for your convincing argument. Where your hypothesis becomes your thesis.

Answer 15

like i have articles, but dont know what to put for apposing views

Answer 16

Oh, ok

Answer 17

Well, what do you need specifically?

Answer 18

finding opposing views

Answer 19

and stuff like that

Answer 20

sorry i cant be more specific

Answer 21

ok... so do you mean opposing views of certain people? I'm still not quite sure what you mean....

Answer 22

well here are my readers concerns and questions

Some of the key things we need to look at are violent video games affecting the behavior of children? Who is to blame for this behavior, the video game makers, or the parents? Should violent video games be banned, or made less accessible? Is the rating system for video games adequate? Is there a justified reason to stop making violent video games? Has there been an increase in violence since video games became popular? Do video games make people unsocial?

and i am also confused on what is meant by opposing views

Answer 23

Well I think those questions are good.... but I really am confused on the opposing views. Opposing mean against (which I'm sure you knew) so I'm guessing that your teacher wants you to talk about people who think that the video games influence violent behavior.

Answer 24

The people/articles that are against your view on the topic...

Answer 25

but thats basically what i did by answering those questions

Answer 26

So for number six I'd mention the articles that are against your view and elaborate on them, for seven I'd talk about the reasons why they cause behavioral issues(again, against your view), for number eight you should argue why you're right, and nine reword your intro.

Answer 27

That's the best thing I could really think of.... Did that help a little?

Answer 28

ya i guess il talk to my teacher a little more on friday but thanks alot for the help

Answer 29

Yep.... sorry..... good luck!

Answer 30

thanks
