In the last lesson, you researched an explorer after watching a video on exploration. In this part, you will begin crafting an argument about exploration.

First, you need to review the elements of an effective argument.

An argumentative essay is a short work in which a writer presents a position and supports it with reasons and evidence. The purpose is to persuade readers to think a certain way about the topic. An effective argumentative essay contains these elements:

claim, or statement of a position
clear, convincing reasons that relate to the claim
evidence, or facts and examples that support the claim
a clear organization, including an introduction, a body, and a conclusion
transitional words and phrases that make the relationships among claims and reasons clear
a concluding statement or section that follows from the ideas presented earlier in the essay
a formal style that takes the subject and reader seriously
error-free grammar, including accurate use of verbs
The assignment is worth 20 points in all.

Read this excerpt from Van Gogh: A Portrait of an Artist

Vincent did twenty-five self-portraits in Paris, more than in any other period of his career. His studies of his own image, seen in a mirror, show his preoccupation with self-examination.

Why might van Gogh have been so prolific in Paris?

He met many artists whom he admired, and his primary focus was art.
The city inspired him to paint.

He was miserable without a family, so he spent his time painting to take his mind off of his loneliness.

How would I describe this year? 2020-2021 is like looking both ways before you cross the street then getting hit by an airplane. How accurate?
Now 2020-2021 has changed our habitats of not changing out of our pj’s or staying in our sweatpants all afternoon. Which doesn’t sound so bad.
But it also caused a lot of pain and suffering to many people and families. Which will never forget.
We’ve all had our breakdowns from this year, and I know I have. From being bored to death to being overwhelmed with homework, we still got through.
I’ve literally had to move two times during this year, now being three by the end of this month. I know I’m shocked too.
