Level 7 Project Part 2: Argumentative Essay

Step 1: Brainstorm the person you want to write about. Remember that you can write from a positive position:
“This person is a good role model because…” or the negative position: “This person is not a good role model
because…” Think about the background information your reader needs to understand who the person is if your
choice is not very famous.

Step 2: Outline--organize your ideas and make sure that your arguments are logical. Find support for your
arguments--blogs, reviews and the source material are all acceptable. Please use APA to the best of your
ability and feel free to ask if you need help. Citations are needed but not assessed in this level.
