Pg 1: background info on a topic, then claim (ex. cheese is the superior dairy food) pg 2: provide a fact, or quote, supporting your claim and then explain it in further detail. (ex. cheese is popular, and used in various dishes universally. the sheer popularity proves superiority of cheese.) pg 3: repeat pg 2 with a different fact pg 4: be on the offense for the opposing argument. state a negative fact about it and explain into further detail. (yogurt is nasty, and reviews suggest that the majority of people don’t like the taste or texture. yogurt does that have the same popularity cheese has, proving is inferiority.) acknowledge other claims and defend your own. pg 5: summarize your thesis. wrap up any other points you may have, and leave the reader with a thought/feeling
