Developing Arguments(MIT Guide, pg. 47)
One way to construct arguments: 1.) A problem or situation to be remedied2.) A claim or thesis that says how to do this3.) Give the background and establish how one might go about solving the problem4.) Provide evidence to support your claim5.) Discuss – weigh the pros and cons and how the pros ultimately outweigh the cons.
