Introduction

• Hook and background on debate
• General Thesis (Does not state your stance yet but lets readers know the essay will argue for a resolution. Two examples are included in the Rogerian Model of Argument page.): 

*[ Masks should be required in public with both doses of Vaccine?]

Body Paragraph(s) Discussing the Other Side

1-3 paragraphs, depending on how you would like to organize. Tone is objective rather than confrontational.

• Other Sides Reason #1: *[Some feel that individuals should make their own decisions about wearing a mask instead of it being mandated.]
  •  explanation behind that reason
• Transition . . . Other Sides Reason #2:  *[ The CDC previously stated that vaccinated people did not need masks and then changed their stance, which is inconsistent.]
  • explanation behind that reason
• Transition . . . Other Sides Reason #3: *[  Mask mandates are unfair to people with physical or psychological conditions exacerbated by mask-wearing]
  • explanation behind that reason

Body Paragraphs Discussing Your Side

Usually 3 paragraphs–1 for each reason.  Tone is objective rather than confrontational.

• Transition . . .Your Sides Reason #1: *[ Vaccinated people can carry/spread the virus, particularly the Delta variant?]
  • evidence and explanation behind this reason
• Transition . . . Your Sides Reason #2: * [ Enforcing mask would allow you to protect others who may contract the disease faster than others due to a low immune system]
  • evidence and explanation behind this reason
• Transition . . . Your Sides Reason #3: *[ Mandating masks in public, particularly indoors, is more effective/enforceable than the “honor system,” in which unvaccinated people could more easily go without masks]
  •  evidence and explanation behind this reason

Body Paragraph Discussing Common Ground and More Specified Thesis

• Transition . . . common goals, values, and/or ideas the two sides share, despite their disagreement.  *[ Both views understand that the vaccine will not prevent contracting Covid-19. Both views do understand that wearing a mask in public would help the numbers decline of affected citizens.]
• More Specified Thesis (the resolution you are arguing foreither for your sides stance or for a compromise):

*[ A mask is NOT a substitute for social distancing. Masks should still be worn in addition to staying at least 6 feet apart, especially when indoors around people who dont live in your household.]

Paragraph(s) Arguing for Your Resolution

• Describe your resolution specifically.
• Include reasoning to support your resolution.  If arguing that your side is most beneficial, explain why.  If arguing for a compromise, convince both sides that your middle-ground solution is worth pursuing.

Paragraph(s) Addressing Objections to Your Resolution

• Acknowledge likely objections to your resolution and offer some counterpoints/refutations to convince objectors to accept your resolution.

Conclusion

• Wrap up your overall point, but also allow readers to continue to think.
