Once you’ve settled on an audience, construct a claim that advances the conversation about your issue, turns it in a new direction.
Next, attach as many reasons as are necessary to fully support your claim. Your claim+reasons, also known as “enthymemes” (Everything’s an Argument, p. 65), will form your thesis.
For each separate enthymeme in your thesis, identify the implicit warrant and determine whether it represents an assumption that your audience shares with you. If so, there’s no need to address the warrant explicitly in your argument. Please note: each reason in your thesis will produce a different warrant, and you must assess the audience’s response to each one.
For each of your reasons (and any warrant that needs explicit support), provide sufficient evidence to convince your audience that your reasons are true statements. Your personal experiences, observations, and reasoning count as evidence, but you should also draw extensively on outside sources for evidence to support your reasons.
Make sure you anticipate objections to your argument by planting at least one naysayer in your paper.
The previous five steps will help you construct effective logos appeals. You should also make effective ethos appeals in order to come across to readers as a person of good character, good sense, and good will. To make effective ethos appeals, make sure you:
know what you’re talking about. Draw on all those outside sources you’ve been reading over the course of the semester, and provide ample evidence for your reasons.
show regard for your readers. Try to come across as approachable and thoughtful, not arrogant or insensitive.
are careful and meticulous in your writing, not sloppy or disorganized.
Finally, make pathos appeals to readers by connecting with their emotions, values, and imaginations. To make effective pathos appeals, make sure you:
evoke emotions (sympathy, outrage, anger, delight, awe, horror, etc.) in your readers that make your paper more moving.
evoke sensations (seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling) in your audience that make your writing vivid and help readers experience things imaginatively.
appeal to values (freedom, justice, tolerance, fairness, equality, etc.) that your readers and you share.

Arrangement

In rhetorical studies, arrangement refers to the selection of content generated during the inventional stage and the organization of that content into an effective composition. Indicate at the beginning of your paper that you’re writing in response to that conversation; then state a thesis that consists of your claim and supporting reasons. After you’ve completed these introductory moves, the arrangement of your argument is up to you. You should include material from each step in the inventional stage, but your selection and organization of that material should follow your own judgment as to what will prove most effective with the audience you have selected.

Style

You should format your paper and cite your sources according to MLA formatting and citation guidelines.

Other Requirements

Your paper should be 5-10 pages. As such, make sure you construct a thesis that will require at least five pages to support yet small enough that you can support it adequately within ten pages. Your paper should be double-spaced, typed in Times New Roman font, with 12 – point character size and one-inch margins all the way around.
