According to Clanza, Capin et al. n. d. it is a

type of essay that presents arguments about both
sides of an issue. It could be that both sides are
presented equally balanced, or it could be one side
is presented more forcefully than the other.
A rg u m e n t a t i v e E s s a y Wr i t i n g

Your job is to make the reader agree with your

opinion about a controversial topic. You have to:
(1) State your opinion,
(2) Give reasons to support your opinion, and
(3) Argue against the opposite opinion.
 Overall, you must convince the audience that your side
of the argument is correct. To convince the audience, your
essay must be balanced - it must include your viewpoint and
opposing viewpoint, or counterargument.
Even though you are arguing only one side of an issue,
you must think about what the other side would say about
your opinion. After the counterargument, you must refute by
showing that it is wrong. If your essay is balanced, a reader
is more like to agree with you.
