attached APoutlineandthesis.docx AP: Argument Outline Top of Form Instructions ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION: Submit a working outline ("roadmap" or "skeleton") of your argument paper for feedback during your drafting phase. Your outline should include plans to incorporate the following elements: an introduction with your thesis, body paragraphs including major claims, evidence, and reasoning, rhetorical appeals, 1-2 counterarguments, and a conclusion. .  OBJECTIVE: To develop a clear, purposeful organizational structure that promotes a writing style that clearly communicates meaning, builds credibility, and inspires belief or action. PREP STEPS: Finalize your working thesis by participating in the class workshop and by submitting the  AP: Thesis Statement  assignment.  INSTRUCTIONS: 1. After completing the above prep steps, develop a map of your main claims and evidence. Remember that your thesis should guide each section and paragraph in your essay overall, so be sure to connect each claim and piece of evidence back to your thesis. 2. Pick at least TWO of the four exercises listed below to further support your outline development. Each is designed to help you visualize how each part of your argument works towards the overall effectiveness and power of your claim. Note: Submission of this step is not required, unless you would like feedback on your exercises.  3. Review your work individually or with instructor feedback by utilizing the checklist at the bottom of this assignment description. 4. Format your outline and notes in a file, then submit it.  5. For extra support or a visual of a solid outline, here are two resources to refer to:  Why and How to Create a Useful Outline  and  Valencia College: Sample Outline_Classic Argumentation Model . [Note: This sample outline is just one of many patterns of argumentation that are common. You are not required to pattern your paper in this exact manner. I linked this specifically to give you a visual example of what a outline can look like!] EXERCISES TO SUPPORT YOUR WORK: Exercise 1: Evidence Mapping (Mind-mapping/Listing) · List key pieces of research evidence (statistics, case studies, expert opinions) that bolster your working thesis. · For each piece of evidence, note how it supports your claim. If some evidence doesn’t connect, set it aside or rethink how it might fit. · Create a simple outline entry for each supporting point: 1. Claim A → Evidence 1, Evidence 2 2. Claim B → Evidence 3, Evidence 4 Exercise 2: Counterarguments (Brainstorming/Freewriting) · Brainstorm potential objections to your thesis. What might a skeptical reader say? · For each objection, gather or revisit evidence that addresses it (a nuance in your research, an alternative study, expert rebuttal). · Plan to incorporate 1-2 counterarguments at appropriate points in your outline. State the counterargument fairly, then counter it with evidence to further support your own position.  Exercise 3: Paragraph Structure (Listing) · Map out the purpose and plan for each paragraph in your outline · Follow the Claim–Evidence–Reasoning (CER) model in each paragraph (as reviewed in class): · Claim: Topic sentence that clearly states one supporting point. · Evidence: Present the research data or source. · Reasoning: Explain how this evidence connects back to the thesis. Exercise 4: Rhetorical Appeals (Freewriting/Mind-mapping) · Use the following prompts to plan out your incorporation of the appeals to logos, pathos, and ethos. For each prompt, set a timer for 3-6 minutes, then journal or record your ideas nonstop. · Ethos: How can I can show my credibility in my writing? What respected sources or experiences can I draw on to boost my credibility? · Pathos: How can I invite my audience's sympathetic imagination? What story, image, or emotional hook would draw my audience in? What feeling am I trying to invoke, and what are some strategies I could use to highlight this? · Logos: What are my strongest pieces of evidence that I've found in my research? How can I explain them in an engaging way that best develops my thesis? Do I have any claims that need more/better support? What types of evidence will best develop those claims?  Final Checklist Before Submission · ❏ Thesis is arguable, thoughtful, and clearly located in the introduction section · ❏ Body paragraphs purposefully develop thesis statement and generally follow the Claim–Evidence–Reasoning model. · ❏ Rhetorical appeals are incorporated appropriately to effectively persuade readers · ❏ Counterarguments are acknowledged and effectively refuted · ❏ Transitions are clear, and coherence is maintained throughout. · ❏ Conclusion leaves a strong "last impression;" reinforces thesis and leaves the audience with something to think about or do Bottom of Form AP: Thesis Statement Top of Form Instructions ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION: Submit a working thesis for feedback and refinement as you continue to revise and expand your research paper into an argument essay.
