One of the greatest tools that we have as writers is the power to persuade others, a skill that will be useful to you far beyond English class. The main purpose of an argument/persuasive essay is to convince your audience to take your side on an issue by presenting a logical idea and supporting it with specific and appropriate researched evidence. Prompt:For this assignment, you will develop an argumentative essay that establishes a clear claim, supports it with researched sources and refutes at least one counter argument.
