Argumentative Essay Vocabulary List & Flashcards
Flashcard Content Overview
Argumentative Essays are written to persuade your reader to agree with you. It is important that they have a clearly stated position, which is the opinion you are trying to share. To be effective, be sure to include reasons why you believe you are correct in your opinion, and back these reasons up with evidence. It is also helpful to predict the arguments of opponents, and provide counterarguments to address those concerns.
In order to help you identify the parts of an argumentative essay, many of the flashcards in this set will reference a hypothetical essay on one of the following four topics:
