Step 4: Create logical argument flow and progression of the
content for your outline. To create your
outline, you will follow the structure below.

Remember that this is a rough guide for essays in our
class. Every essay comes with different challenges, and so this is the
general outline for moving your argument along.
Variances can occur in the body paragraphs,
though. Sometimes you will need to
create more hamburger
method/source
sandwiches to defend multiple angles of your argument in that
paragraph. Nonetheless, remember, if you
are writing an argument, you will need at least one counter-argument body
paragraph, and maybe a second one if it is a very long paper (10+ pages). However, the introduction
and the conclusion
should follow the three-sentence plans for proper structural flow.
