B. Development 30 mins How To Outline an Argumentative Essay in 4 Steps
A good argumentative essay should follow this structure:
1. Introductory paragraph. Present the topic of the essay in an interesting

way. Using humor in presenting important quality or an issue may interest
the reader.
2. The thesis statement. This is part of the introductory paragraph. It states
the topic and the purpose of your entire essay.

paragraph in an essay supports the thesis statement of the introductory
paragraph.

close.
How to Write a Thesis Statement
1. Write a sentence that states the topic and the purpose of your entire
essay.
 The Importance of Malagonlong Bridge to the people of Tayabas
City.
2. Turn the sentence into a question and answer it.
 Why does Malagonlong bridge important to the people of
Tayabas?
Malagonlong bridge is considered as one of the most important

heritage sites in Tayabas City.
It marked the forced labor, also known as “Polo” labor done by the
people of Tayabas.
3. State a disagreement—and then disprove it.
Introduce an idea that contrasts with your belief, and immediately
explain why you disagree with it.
 For example: “While some people believe Malagonlong bridge is
just an ordinary bridge, others say it can turn the city into a versatile
tourist attraction."
4. Briefly outline your main points. Introduce your main point and explain
how you’ll back it up.
 For example: “You can turn Malagonlong bridge into a tourist
attraction by adding some amenities to cater the visitors.” This
method is effective because it gives readers the clear idea of
everything you are to discuss in your essay.
