Wednesday, January 21st, 2015. This morning we learn about "How to Make an Arguments in academic writing". Mrs. Yanti explain to us about how to make an argument and how support that argument in our academic writings especially thesis. Interprete and describe the data and also make a conclusion from there as evidence, and then we can process our data as an evidence to our argument, data can strengthen our argument. She explain to us the purpose of argumentative essay is to persuade the reader to accept and seriously consider your opinion on controversial issues. When you make an argument in your essay, you must consider your audience, like: whom are you trying reach, what do they already know about your topic, what is your relationship with your audience and how does it impact your word choice and tone. Then you must make a claim like: your opinion or position on an issue, must be supported with reasons and evidence, evidence can include quotes, facts, and data, also evidence must be explain. Then you make a reason for your claim because reason support the thesis and form argument with your evidence and then you must have a counter claim to your argument like: consider the opposite side, argues againt your claim, turn againt your argument to challenge it, and then turn back to reaffirm that argument.
After she explain to us, she give us article with data statistic and description about “ICT in Education and Government” and from that article she ask us to make a questions and summary from the information and data we get. Then she give us an article again that shows us the statistic graphs about “Tobacco use is a risk factor for six of the eight leading causes of death in the world” and “Nearly two thirds of the world’s smokers live in 10 countries” and ask us to make argument paper about from that data given on the article.
