4. Your Argument Plan

Claim: Please note your thesis here: Write your thesis here in at least one full sentence. Grounds, Warrant, and Backing: Below, provide two pieces of evidence and explain how each supports your claim.

First quotation or paraphrase from a source with full APA in-text citation:

Example: According to Macie Lopez, Ph.D., “Parents are never equipped to handle the grief that comes with losing a child” (2020, p. 34). Now, use logic to explain in at least two sentences how this evidence supports your claim: Insert your explanation here in at least two full sentences.

Second quotation or paraphrase from a source with full APA in-text citation:

Example: Parents who lose a child are often isolated because of the stigma and therefore are less likely to seek their own help and support system (Ngari, 2019). Now, use logic to explain in at least two sentences how this evidence supports your claim: Insert your explanation here in at least two full sentences. Counterclaim: Note at least one strong counter-argument that others might reasonably make. This may be a logical reason that you have thought about, or it may be an opposing viewpoint you discovered via research. In at least two sentences, provide the opposing viewpoint here. If you use a source, please apply proper conventions for introducing, integrating, and citing the source. Rebuttal: What can you say, using logic and/or evidence, that will effectively refute the above counterclaim? In at least three sentences, refute the above opposing viewpoint with sound logic. This may be just your own sound logic without a source. Or, it may be a combination of a source and your logical explanation of how the source truly refutes the above opposition. Do not re-use a source from your work in any section above.
