Writing Workshop: Creating an Argumentative Essay

Question 3 • WV-US Studies

Which of the following best states the steps of writing an argumentative essay?

Answer
A
finding evidence to support a claim, creating a thesis and outline, expanding the outline into a draft, and rewriting the draft in an engaging way
B
creating a thesis and outline, finding evidence to support a claim, writing a first draft, and creating an outline
C
making a claim, collecting evidence to support it, writing a draft, and expanding the draft in an engaging way
D
creating a thesis and outline, finding evidence to support a claim, and expanding the outline into a final draft

Explanation

A strong argumentative essay begins with a claim and supporting evidence, then organizes those ideas into a thesis and outline. The writer expands the outline into a draft and revises it to make the writing clearer and more engaging. Choice A includes these steps; D skips the drafting and revision process by going straight to a final draft.
