please follow orders instruction perfectly. Only use the articles attached to proof and to cite the essay. Use MLA formatting.Aristotelian or Claims Essay
1200 words minimum
3 sources minimum (4 sources maximum)
DUE: March 6th
Introduction:
A Claims Argument is otherwise known as an Aristotelian Argument, or a Classical Argument, and traces its formal academic history back to (not surprisingly) Aristotle (Greece, 4th century B.C.).  The tenets, though, of this argumentative model are, I argue, innate to human argumentation; sometimes called the Adversarial Model, its a strategy of using evidence to explain clearly why one thesis is correct, and another wrong.  Phrased most simply, its the why Im right strategy of argumentation.  Especially when making a claim regarding an important issue, one that is disputed in any capacity, this why Im right is often accompanied by an explanation of why the opposition is wrong.  Weve been doing this since we were very young, when we argued with our friends over the debatable superiority of various athletes, musical groups, movies, or books.  In a cultural context, these same methods of debate apply to numerous, supremely significant political and social issues: military conflict, the economy, womens rights, immigration, gun control, education, and so on.
         
For your Claims Essay, due March 6th, you will need to offer your own claim: an argument supported by at least three academically viable sources.  Here, however, is a wrinkle.  You may choose almost any stance, any topic that you like, keeping in mind that said topic needs to be researchable and academically appropriate, but Im asking you to give a lot of considerate thought to this choice.  Perhaps its the political landscape of the current age, but candidly, my spirit wont bear several dozen essays on gun control and health care.  Now, we will absolutely need to maintain academic viability, here; this is not some blog post or Facebook entry, and the research will need to be similarly viable.  But you’ll receive an extra point or two for original, especially thoughtful, or even lighthearted topics.  I don’t want “cats are better than dogs,” or “Jordan is better than LeBron,” but I do believe we can successfully offer an academically rigorous essay thats still a little bit of fun, or further off the beaten path.

Organization:
While I will be offering several resources for guidance throughout the project, its worth  note, here, that a Claims essay often follows a proven and predictable template for organization.  In fact, as the preeminent model for academic argumentation, this organization is likely the one with which we have been most familiar over the course of our own educational histories, i.e. the five paragraph essay.  While your essay may or may not consist of five paragraphs, it should adhere to the following paragraph structure:

Opening paragraph:  Introduction of thesis/claim in broad terms, situating the argument within a  larger context this paragraph should culminate with a clear statement of overarching thesis/identification of problem

Body paragraphs (3 or more):  Considerations and support, incorporating research

Refutation of opposition:  Accounting for and negating at least one chief oppositional perspective

Conclusion:  Reiteration of thesis given the discussion of the essay

Suggestions:

Above all else, follow fundamental rules of syntax (punctuation, conjugation, etc.).
Write with a close eye on clarity; every sentence must make fundamental sense, must be easily understood.
Avoid clichs, e.g. Agree to disagree, Everyone has their opinion, but  etc.
Do not objectify the essay, e.g. In this essay or, Im writing this because or, I had to think a long time about what to write
Cite sources according to MLA format; use RW pg. 468 as an example.
Write something you know, something you care about.
