| Assignment 4C - One Main Point Developed with Subpoints and Evidence
(Estimated Completion Time - 2-3 hours) |
| What is the assignment? |
Your assignment is to choose one of the three main points from your List of Main Points (Assignment 4A) and develop it with subpoints and evidence. Develop each subpoint in a separate paragraph. It will require two to four paragraphs to fully develop your main point in this manner. For example: In the first sentence of your first paragraph, declare your main point. Then, in the next sentence, declare your Subpoint # 1. Use the remainder of the first paragraph to provide enough evidence to "prove" Subpoint # 1. In the first sentence of your second paragraph, declare Subpoint # 2. Then, use the remainder of the second paragraph to provide enough evidence to "prove" Subpoint # 2. In the first sentence of your third paragraph, declare Subpoint # 3 (if you have one) and use the remainder of the third paragraph to provide enough evidence to "prove" Subpoint # 3. In the first sentence of your fourth paragraph, declare Subpoint # 4 (if you have one) and use the remainder of the fourth paragraph to provide enough evidence to "prove" Subpoint # 4. Finally, as the last page of your submission, include a Works Cited page that lists all sources used in your paragraphs (in proper MLA format). Review the interactive pyramid "Visualizing the Hierarchy of Argument" for examples of main points, subpoints, and evidence. |
