Arguement Essay: Foster Care Support System

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR TEENS IN FOSTER CARE TRANSITIONING OUT AT 18 TO HAVE A SUPPORT SYSTEM AND WHY IS IT REALLY IMPORTANT FOR A SOCIAL WORKER TO BE SUPPORTIVE.

In this paper, you will make an arguable claim that is supported by evidence. Though this is your opinion, it should not include first-person or second-person pronouns. Instead, any claims should be backed up by sources, whether quoted directly or paraphrased. Information about that can be found on the Incorporating Sources page.

Organization Tips: Begin with an introductory paragraph with a hook and concise thesis statement that makes an arguable claim about a problem. This is the foundation on which you will build your argument.

The subsequent paragraphs should give evidence from scholarly sources that prove the claim. Those body paragraphs should include a topic sentence that encompasses a single aspect of your argument that you will write about in that paragraph only. Remember, paragraphs are like containers, and each container can only hold one subtopic. That claim needs to be back up with evidence and be tied back to the thesis. You may also want to consider incorporating counterarguments/refuting the opposition.

Don’t forget a conclusion that summarizes the argument. No new information or citations should be introduced in the conclusion.

The approach to this can be in a style you find makes sense for your subject, such as an Introduction > Problem > Cause > Solution > Conclusion approach, or any other pattern that logically outlines your argument.
