Take a Stand•State your position in the form of a thesis at the end of your introductory paragraph.•Your introductory paragraph should also incorporate an introduction strategy. •After you have written your thesis, make sure it’s debatable. •Arguing a point most people accept is true is useless. Does it pass the “so what” factor? •A good argumentation paper presents a proposition that some would object to.

Gather EvidenceEvidence can be fact or opinion.Facts are statements that most people agree are true and that can be verified, such as statistics.
It is a fact that fewer people per year were killed in automobile accidents in the 1990s than in the 1970s.
Opinions are interpretations of facts.Note: The opinions of experts are more convincing than those of individuals who have limited knowledge of an issue.
