  Persuasive/Argument Papers

Persuasive/Argument Paper Checklist

 

This section of the packet is designed to help you evaluate your own organization and presentation. You can use this list to determine if you have met the requirements of format and structure of a persuasive/ argument essay.

  • Does my introduction present the issue I will discuss, and does it clearly state my position?
  • Is my topic debatable? Are there two sides to the topic?
  • Does my proposition statement clearly state my position on the issue?
  • Have I given enough information on the topic so that my audience can easily follow my argument?
  • Are there any definitions or ideas that need to be clarified for my audience?
  • Have I addressed the major arguments against my position?
  • Did I refute the arguments against my position using researched, well-documented facts and statistics?
