Welcome: Introduction to Argumentative Writing – Indonesian
Government Needs improvement or not ?
Description: An argumentative writing or essay is a
genre of writing that requires the student to investigate a topic, collect,
generate, and evaluate evidence, and establish a position on the topic in a
concise manner. In this WebQuest, you'll learn to develop points or arguments
and counter-points on the issue of video games!
Imagine, you are a researcher in
a group of three and your task is to investigate, gather and
develop ideas or information on either one of these below:
- the
structure of an argumentative essay
- the
steps in writing a good argumentative essay and
- the
techniques or approaches in writing a good argumentative essa
Work in a group of three. Remember, before you
embark in the quest to write an argumentative essay, make sure you have read
all the articles and watch videos on the steps, format, structure, developing
arguments, writing the introduction, writing the first argument and conclusion
of an argumentative essay.
Each of you takes the role as a researcher to
explore, investigate and write a report on each topic: the structure of an
argumentative essay, the steps in writing a good argumentative essay and the
technique or approach to write a good argumentative essay. Then, combine your
work on these topics and present your findings to the class. Use large charts
or posters to present!
Next, read the articles given and watch the videos
on the issue of video games and why should it be banned for the minors.
Discuss in your group and list down all the pros and
cons using the T-chart organizer. Then, each of you decide what stance to take,
whether playing video games is bad or the opposite and why violent video games
should be banned for the minors or vice-versa.
Write your argumentative essay in 350 words using a
good thesis statement and the minimal five-part structure you have already
learnt.
Post and share your work in the classroom blog
created by your teacher for assessment and comments.
