the following steps:

1. Choose a stance you believe in and write down why you believe in the stance.

• Ask yourself the following questions:

• Who is my audience and which points will they be interested in?

• What kind of tone am I assuming for my argument?

• Does my tone match the audience? (If not, consider changing your tone.)

• Am I engaging in a fallacy or illogical stance? (Make sure you make sense or no one

will believe you!)

• Would someone agree or disagree with me given my points? (Argue with yourself

as to find the strengths and weaknesses of your stance.)

• Am I making a moral or cultural argument? (If so, you may need to reconsider a

stance able to utilize scholarly literature.)
