Introduction:
Background: What was happening with your topic before the two sides emerged? How did it start? Who were the key players? What information does your reader need to know in order to make the topic as it currently stands, make sense?
Two sides: Give a brief explanation of the two separate sides of the issue
Thesis: Start by acknowledging the other side; then end with the side you are arguing for. Remember to use a transition word like, “although” or “while”, then a comma after side one.
