Writing: Research-Based Argument Essay

Writers use all that they know about writing personal essays and persuasive essays to help them write research-based argument essays. 

As well as using all that they know, writers use text-based evidence from research to support their ideas.



Writers make sure to use quotes or paraphrasing to support their reasons. They set up the evidence by showing where it came from before putting it into their paragraphs. 

  • According to the article (article title), " _____________."
  • In the article (article title), the author tells us that, "___________."

After writers use quotes or paraphrasing, they unpack it by linking it back to their reasons.
  • As you can see...
  • This shows that... 
  • This supports my idea that...

Paraphrasing

Quoting
