    Dear Students,

    Over the course of the month, I have provided you all with several layouts because I am trying to show you different ways of organizing your ideas for the argumentative essay--it is up to you to make a decision on how to structure and write your paper.  Your essay is required to have a Claim (thesis or argument), details and commentary to support your claim, and Counterclaim with details of support against the author of the article whose opinion you disagree. How you organize your paragraphs and ideas is completely is up to you.

    The outline I provided is generic--you may follow it exactly the way it is, or you can rearrange it the way you see fit, depending on how you want to structure your essay.  

    Dr. Balatayo
