What is a argumentative essay?
Whether Elvis is alive or dead. (He's dead, of course). NO human being can survive being 250 lbs. at 42 years of age and ingest a cocktail of prescription drugs including dilaudid - on top of cheeseburgers and banana splits in the night. So there's ONE argumentative essay.
On an even heavier note, the topic of gay marriage is an argumentative essay. Pick your side and then use scholarly researched information to support your side. Don't just talk rubbish out of your bottom. State your opinion, but also back them up with proven facts. (PS- Not all studies done on things are 100% since they also depend on WHERE those polls were taken and on whom).
Another argumentative essay is whether God exists - yes, you can argue this since like it or not - it has not been PROVEN how we got here or the mountains or oceans. (This could go on forever). If philospohers cannot prove it, you've got a winning argument!
Abortion rights is another essay topic.
Capital punishment is another topic.
Juveniles being charged as adults is another topic.

....As you can see, there are many topics that can form a wonderful argumentative essay. So MANY things can go into these topics and I have done them myself. You may even choose political arguments of democratic views vs. republican and state your opinion and back it up with facts.
Be sure to CITE your references! (Give credit to the source if you use anyone else's ideas or words).
How to write a persuasive or opinion essay?
Basically, when you write a persuasive essay you should have at the least 5 paragraphs. An introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion, in that order.
Intro:
The introduction should include the 5 w's (who what ,where, when, and why) as well as a hook. A Hook is used to get the attention of your readers and to get them thinking. You can use a short anecdote, a quote, statistics, a question or a scenario. Try not to make the introduction too long, as it can deter readers.
Body Paragraphs (3):
Typically, there are 3 body paragraphs in a persuasive essay, though more can be added. For each paragraph have an argument or convincing reason and give supporting details. If you have two good reasons and one not as thought out, place the 2nd best reason first, then the worst one, and finish it with the best reason. People usually remember the first and last things that they read. Try to make the reader follow your position.
Conclusion:
The conclusion is basically a summary of all that you've just said and is used to tie up any loose strings. It's a reflection of the intro and therefore, may contain similar aspects. If you have a scenario in the intro you can rewrite it in the conclusion showing what would happen if the reader took your advice. For example,lets say that you're writing on the topic of dress codes and you are strongly for uniforms. In the intro you might have a scenario where a student is being ridiculed by a bully due to their choice of clothing and being called 'dorky'. In the conclusion you could have that same bully now asking for help on an assignment because the focus is taken off of clothing and directed to studies. The conclusion will be the last thing read and remembered most clearly, so give it a strong voice that depicts the message you want to get across.
Extra facts:
- Don't include personal information on your essays
'I do/don't like school uniforms because I think...'
- Instead try to use statistics, quotes,ect.
'There is a shocking amount of increase in the percent of failing grades. This can be credited to the sudden prominence of fashionable clothing with adolescence. With school uniforms. . .
2. As in any essay, refrain from using slang
3. Chose a topic that you can relate to, you'll writing will be stronger if it comes from your own personal opinions. (but remember not to use personal info)
First of all, you forgot the thesis statement. Your thesis statement shows what three main points that suppport the main point your arguing. Second of all, a thesis statement is one sentence, has three arguments, doesn't give examples, and it makes sense.

The Importance of Water
There's no doubt that water is important. Not only do we humans use it just about every day, but every living thing needs it to live. It has helped form the Earth as we know it, and it covers over 70% of the Earth. Even where there is land, much of it is covered in ice, which is obviously just solid water. The importance of water is clear to us in many ways, and we can't overlook it.
Where would people be without water? Well aside from, you know, not being alive, we may never have evolved the big brains that make us such a unique species. Some say that that learning how to keep, and transport water over land was the key to our survival when other similar species just kept dying off.

A conclusion at the end of the paragraph is similar to the one at the end of the whole essay, it wraps up what that paragraph has been talking about.

But be sure the conclusion just flows along, don't make it apparent that its a conclusion.
