(Ex. Tutoring, display of compassion, working together) REFUTATION: Acknowledges and rebuts opposition CONCLUSION: Reinstates thesis, closing remarks
the essay CONTENT CONTENT: : ARGUMENTS ARGUMENTS 1. Educators should not rest assured because the dropout rate is not as good as it seems 2.

the essay WISHES WISHES: : A AHYPOTHETICAL HYPOTHETICALSITUATION SITUATION What, if anything, would you do differently if you had to do this research paper project again? Choose a different topic! When it comes to persuasion and argumentation, There just are easier topics to argue about. The More the Merrier It certainly works in this situation! The more controversy that exist regarding a topic, the merrier (and easier) it becomes to take stand and argue.
