Answer 1

I feel confident about my ability to introduce and develop a claim because I have practiced it multiple times in different assignments and have received positive feedback from my teacher. It can be challenging to acknowledge an opposing claim because sometimes it feels like it weakens my own argument. However, I know it is important to consider different perspectives and effectively refute them. One strategy for organizing my reasons and evidence logically is to create an outline before writing my argument. This helps me see the overall structure and flow of my ideas. In order to figure out whether a source that I’ve found is credible, I can check if it is published in a reputable academic journal or if the author is an expert in the field. One way to remember to check for cohesion in my argument is to read it aloud or have someone else read it to me. This helps me identify any gaps or inconsistencies in my reasoning. If I am not sure that my conclusion maintains a formal style, I can use formal language and avoid personal opinions or emotions in my final statements.
