Harry Potter Is Better Than Lord Of The Rings
- write out your thesis/claim (this should not have first person in it, but it should take a firm stance and clearly
be on the affirmative or negative side of your topic). - Develop FIVE possible reasons that you would use to prove your side of the argument – these reasons
should be distinguishable from each other. If you were doing why pie is preferable to cake, you wouldn’t want
one of your reasons to be about the wonder of apple pie and another reason be about the deliciousness of
chocolate pie. While different pies, these are way too similar to each other and should rather be part of the
reason “Pies come in many enjoyable varieties.”
