1. The argumentative essay is a genre of writing that requires the student to investigate a topic; collect, generate, and evaluate evidence; and establish a position on the topic in a concise manner. Please note: Some confusion may occur between the argumentative essay and the expository essay.:
2. the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
"the study finds little evidence of overt discrimination"
3. state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof.
"he claimed that he came from a wealthy, educated family"
4. a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event.
"the minister resigned for personal reasons"
5. Rhetorical appeals are the qualities of an argument that make it truly persuasive. To make a convincing argument, a writer appeals to a reader in several ways. The four different types of persuasive appeals are logos, ethos, pathos, and kairos. Logos, the appeal to logic, is used to convince an audience with reason.
6. a quality that evokes pity or sadness.
"the actor injects his customary humor and pathos into the role"
7. Logos, or the appeal to logic, means to appeal to the audiences' sense of reason or logic. To use logos, the author makes clear, logical connections between ideas, and includes the use of facts and statistics. Using historical and literal analogies to make a logical argument is another strategy.
8. the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations.
"a challenge to the ethos of the 1960s"
9. Text structures refer to the way authors organize information in text. Recognizing the underlying structure of texts can help students focus attention on key concepts and relationships, anticipate what is to come, and monitor their comprehension as they read.
10. a refutation or contradiction
11. an argument or set of reasons put forward to oppose an idea or theory developed in another argument.
"the obvious counterargument to that dire prediction is that the recession has depressed earnings"
12. permission for something to happen or agreement to do something.

"a condition that affects people of both genders"
14. cause (something, especially an emotion or situation) to arise or come about.
"changes that are likely to generate controversy"

18. widely or constantly encountered; common or widespread.
