Take a stand. for or against.clear thesis. cite. explain quotes. ARGUE. First paragraph: strong topic sentence, strong thesis,take a stand, example/ evidence and state where you got the information from. Second paragraph:deal with the opposition(weak flaud). Third paragraph: strengthen the argument, evidence. fourth, fifth and six: evidence drive home points. Conclusion; please do not start with to conclude, please restate the thesis. use Transitions, don’t summarize the sources and please no run ons. I recommend you watch the movie kill the messenger, its about a reporter Gary Webb, it’ll help understand the topic more. A lot of evidence is needed
