I need to write an argumentative essay in favor for covid 19 vaccines consisting of a minimum of 1500 words; however, i just need you to write down 2 paragraphs for me.
I had a debate about my side of the argument (for the covid vaccine) and i have attatched a document titled “debate organizer” that contains what i argued for.
I have also attatched sample essays and the sources that need to be used. Please only use the sources i have attatched and nothing else.
In each paragraph please include a minimum of 2-3 sources.
WHAT MY PROFESSOR WANTS
One body paragraph.
1. The paragraph should contain a topic sentence (this is a summary of your argument in your own words)
2. Then, you will start introducing evidence to back up your argument. Remember to introduce the quotation/summary or to integrate the quotation in your writing. Don’t forget the intext citation.
3. Now it’s time to connect the quotation to your main argument and thesis. You can explain how the quotation supports your argument, agree with it, explain how it develops the argument and moves in forward.
4. Do this more than once at least. We typically have more than one piece of evidence and quotation sandwiches in our paragraphs. Try for two or three.
5. Conclude your paragraph by summing up your ideas.
One counterargument and refutation paragraph
Think of your opposing side.
1. You should start your paragraph with an argument from the opposing side. Use language like we discussed in class when you start your paragraph such as “Opponents of….. claim that” or “Supporters of …. claim that…..” or “Some people argue that…” or ”
2. Make sure to add evidence to your opponent’s argument. This way you show that you’re being a fair and balanced researcher.
3. Make sure to back it up with evidence. Add an intext citation.
4. Then start refuting the counterargument. Indicate that you are now refuting and turning back to your own argument by letting your reader know with a transition phrase. You can concede your opponent’s point (give their point respect) by saying “While the researcher’s argument is valid, there are still problems with….” or “While this may be true in some instances, the risks outweight the benefits” or “Although critics have a point, new evidence shows that…..” (Please note that you do not have to add a concession if you don’t want to, but you should add a transition phrase)
5. Make sure that you explain your refutation in detail and provide plenty of evidence to back it up.
Transition Words and Phrases That you could use:
a) Introduce the counterargument. Use one of these phrases:
· “There are people who believe____ and they may think that _____,”
· “The writer states that____”
· Some people may feel that ____”
· Supporters of [this issue] claim that ____”
· Opponents of [this issue] insist that ____”
b) Afterward, come back to your own argument. Here are some phrases you can use:
· “… however, I think that it is more important to consider ____ because ____”
· “In spite of/Despite these arguments, I still think ____ because ____”
· The writer’s point has some validity, but ____”
· It is true that____; however, ____”
· Some people may feel that ____ , but I disagree because _____”
