Your essay must also include your argument about the social, racial, or identity issue you have chosen to cover. That means you need a thesis and topic sentences, which state your claim Anderson why. You also need support for your argument in the form of cited material. You will be using PIE paragraph structure as you did in previous essays. Your argument should include at least one specific counter-argument (in-response to one of your claims/points), or point your opposition could raise, to which you respond with a refutation. You support for the counterargument can come from one the texts we cover for this essay or from something you come up with on your own.
