Linking your Critical Thinking and Writing Skills

The website, Critical Thinker Academy (criticalthinkeracademy.com), has a series of tutorial videos on writing argumentative essays. While not all of the content is free to view, there are a few free videos that touch upon the basics of crafting a strong persuasive essay. As the persuasive essay is something all SNL students are asked to write for classes, take a few minutes to review the parts of a good persuasive essay:

1. The introduction
2. A main body, which itself contains at least three arguments:
- the “main argument” of the essay
- a possible objection to the main argument
- a reply to the objection
3. The conclusion
