ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY OUTLINE

(Classroom education is more effective than virtual classes)

1st PARAGRAPH: introduction (thesis statement)

Even when it seems to be the most viable option to continue education from our homes,
there is a lot of factors that shows that classroom educations still the most effective way
to teach and learn
Hook (A sentence that grabs the reader’s attention):
The challenges presented by the current health situation, with the increasing expansion
of the pandemic caused by the Covid-19 have led colleges and university to modify the
customary way of teaching.
2nd Body Paragraph: (Here’s my 1st reason, argument, or claim)
In classroom education, dealing with teachers is closer, while in virtual education it is
limited to the more impersonal use of a phone or laptop.
*Here’s an evidence to back up my reasons (source):
Greek thinkers like Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates were convinced that in order to study
and learn, men had to meet in the same place to debate and share ideas.
3rd Body Paragraph: (Here’s my 2nd reason, argument, or claim)
By attending to college, we have the possibility to socialize and we follow codes of
discipline that force us to comply with certain rules
*Here’s an evidence to back up my reasons
Attending to college we get more responsibility, we have to wake up early to be right on
time at the classes, for some classes we need to follow a dress code, there’s some things
that we can’t do while we are in the classroom.
4th Body Paragraph: Counterargument(s)/counterclaim(s).
I’m aware of the fact that we are confined in our homes and the only source we have
right now to learn is through virtual classes and the fact that this way also promotes the
autonomy and curiosity of students for self-taught learning
(refutation/rebuttal).
However, student pay more attention to any explanation teachers are giving when they
are in the classroom, students feel more comfortable when they have to do any question
and also classroom education make students be more discipline when we talk about
study time.
5th Body Paragraph:
Conclusion:
Countries like ours will take a long time to see virtual education in the national
educational system, since public school students do not have the resources of computers
and the Internet. And that is one of the many reasons why I believe that classroom
educations still the most effective way to teach and learn.
I will leave my reader with a suggestion, prediction, or question.
The learning process is individual, so you should ask yourself if you are really learning
with this new process.
