Paper #3: Group Argumentative Essay

Lang

AP

Prompt: These days, many complain that young people no longer have a work ethic.
What does that term mean to you? Do you believe that you and your peers are
motivated by a work ethic? Why or why not? Explain your response in terms of your own
experience and your reading.

Your job: Develop an opinion on the prompt, crafting a well-reasoned, well-supported,


and meticulously proofread argument using evidence from at least 4 sources.
o

The basic format for an argumentative essay:

Introduction-Establishes credibility of speaker, introduces topic, establishes


connection to audience (appeal to ethos/pathos)

Narration-summarizes background information and context for argument,


sets up the stakes for the argument (appeal to logos/pathos)

Confirmation-lays out in a logical order the claims and evidence that


support the thesis (strong appeal to logos)

Refutation and Concession-looks at opposing viewpoints, anticipates


objections from the audience, and uses opposing viewpoints/objections to
strengthen the thesis (appeal to logos, ethos)

Summation-strong conclusion, amplify the force of the argument, show the


readers that this solution is the best at meeting the circumstances (appeal to
logos, pathos, and ethos)
o

Each of these represents a part of a paper, which might


be one or more paragraphs, or treated in the same
paragraph as another section.

Length: 4-5 pages, double-spaced, size 12 font, Times New Roman
