Classical argument is the basic form of persuasive writing used in essays and position papers. It must contain the following five parts:
the introduction-used to grab the reader’s attention
the narration–used to explain the origin and nature of the argument
the confirmation-used to support the argument and convince the audience
the refutation-used to counter the opposition’s position
the conclusion–used to broaden the argument and speak to its consequences
The parts of a classic position paper are arranged logically. That is, one section logically follows from the one before it. It is styled in this way for ease of transition in thought, especially for the main purpose of effectively persuading the reader or audience. Please note that classic arguments avoid the use of the first person “I” unless they are employing relevant personal experience evidence.
Remember to consider your purpose and your target audience before publishing. These key decisions will create an authentic goal for the paper and help you establish common ground with your target addressees. The central claim, your main assertion, is also integral to your argument’s success. Be sure that it is clear, specific and debatable. The body of the argument should be developed with persuasive evidence and detailed explanation. Also, provide a refutation which acknowledges the opposition’s best point and effectively counters its position. Finally, the conclusion should enable the audience to see the overall importance of the topic.
