Learning Objective
I can write an argumentative paragraph with a clear claim and supporting evidence.
- 1
Argumentative writing involves investigating a topic, evaluating evidence, and establishing a clear position that is communicated to the reader.

Unlike persuasive writing, argumentative writing weighs both sides of an issue and presents evidence from differing points of view.

An argumentative essay should include a clear thesis statement in the first paragraph and each body paragraph should connect back to it with supporting evidence.
