Argumentative Essay Topics For Bilingual Education
Argumentative Essay Topics For Bilingual EducationThe best argumentative essay topics will have one main point. They can be original, but I recommend that you adopt one of the many debate styles by Edith Grossman, or Louise Matthews.Here is an example of a topic adapted from one of these authors, the Argumentative Debate style. It is about a voter's rights, and it uses a lot of the standard debate tactics.It starts off with an introduction, where we introduce our principle questions, which are not required, but are good starting points for the argument. We need to establish the stakes, which are the differences between the two opposing viewpoints. Let's call the speaker in this essay 'the American'. The others are called the 'Oriental' and the 'European'. We also assume that the debate will last for about an hour, since that is the time allowed by the writer of the piece.I think it's pretty easy to adapt this essay topics to be used in any type of debate, though it can be adapted to work with argumentative essay topics in a bilingual environment. The same approach is used, just the subjects are in a different order, and they may not contain certain tactics that you might want to use with your debate. It would be best to discuss them before you start writing to see if that's what you want to do.I wrote the introduction first, so I'm going to address the fundamental issues in this essay. The American wants to defend the right of citizens to vote in an election. The Oriental does not want that right. The European does not want the right to vote.The argument I am making is that the rights of the individual are most important, and if the right to vote were not guaranteed, the Oriental or the European would have the right to manipulate elections, and control the elections. This is not an ideal situation, but it's still possible to develop a compromise solution that would allow the vote to be exercised without the manipulation. In other words, we're trying to show how complicated the situation is.The next part of the essay addresses the main point. The Americans say that their rights can't be compromised, because they won't accept it. The Oriental says that it's impossible to consider those rights in the context of any compromise; thus, the whole point of the document is lost. The Europeans say that they have no right to change the voting laws because they were forced to give them up to allow freedom of speech.In the final argument, I am not addressing the issue of voting, so that the point has been skipped. If you want to consider a debate topic like this, it would be better to adapt it to any debate style, and then adapt the technique to your own situation.
