Well either we understand it, because we had intended, or we don't understand it,
because we have never wished it
For anybody here in 2020 feeling like there's no point in writing an essay, here's what I say as a rebuttal: Writing is amazing. It's hard, it's time-consuming, and it's draining, but it's so worth it when you can look back at what you wrote and say "I did that."
No, it's really not lol
Yes, I agree. I always amaze myself at the cognitive skills that I have when I go through the process of writing a final paper and then read the final paper that I wrote and I say, "Wow! That's awesome!"
And then you go dump it somewhere to be forgotten forever and read by no one.

I'm an extremely lazy college student and this vid has promptly motivated me to exit out of my downward spiral of procrastination which has consumed me for weeks until this this present moment, this turning point. It is currently 3am. This paper must be done by 1pm. I have 11 hours, I have just finished my third 2 serving can of Monster energy, and I have not started the paper. As soon as I hit post BOOM I'm gonna ride the lightning across this 9 page essay, make it my bitch. Thanks for posting!

did you ever get that essay done on time?
@@gigibucc1142 can't say I remember bro haha
@@sockNL94 sheeeeeesh you did it man
What he's trying to say is to continue using Objections (the argument question) and the replies (reply to prove that argument wrong) throughout the entire essay.
here's and example of one super short paragraph...
-Violent video games produce hatred (Objection)
-Well according to some statistics, video games enhance ones ability to socialize with friends. ( reply to the objection)
hope that helps :)
THAT actually helped ease my mind some. I can see what he meant now. Thank you!
Thank You. Saved my time
Your a good man thank you
Yes, I've been searching the comments to understand what I am watching. My headache is gone now. Thank you!
From the video I actually inferred in to be the following, which is slightly different to your interpretation: The main arguement would be your own line of argument on a particular topic i.e your stance on if violent video games produce hate (i.e present your hypothesis or thesis statement as the introductory paragraph) . You then strengthen your argument by offering a counter-argument (strongest objection) which could potentially undermine your thesis/ conclusion. Subsequently you then rebut this objection by 'replying' (seek to demolish the counter-argument), again, to add value to your own argument. You continue to systematically do this until you have responded to several (ideally three) objections and arrive at your well-supported and reasoned conclusion which in essence should reiterate your thesis statement (initial line of argument)
Great video. Teaches everything in a very descriptive way. Thanks, Kevin
Thank you for posting this! I needed a refresher!

Thank you Kevin,
I have enjoyed all the presentations presented by you. Clear and concise. I had pondered about the structure of my essay and this encapsulates exactly what I need to do. Makes my life as a student alot easier.

Wow this helped a lot, thanks! Before I did not know how to make a good counter-claim, but you explained it very well! Thanks!
Hey thanks a lot for putting this together, I found it by typing "how to build academical essay style arguments and citations you tube video" I tink that your channel and your course will become my favourite topic and will send me like a rocket writing my findings :)

thank you very much!
!
Nice video. Very greatful for the information. Have a district writing essay due and this helped out a lot!!
A excellent source for teaching the argumentative essay.
Thank you, this clears up quite a few things. I've been struggling with writers block for awhile now. I have the knowledge and thesis for my question but I can't seem to get ideas over onto paper. I decided to go back to the basics by thinking about how to structure my essays and this was a great help to me.

This is a very good video, and I wish it had been available when I was writing argumentative essays.
Excellent...
this comment was a decade ago O.o holly now you are working at a job?
Really excellent video. Concise and informative. Thanks very much
Im going to ask my wife for tips she always wins all our arguments, shes an expert on arguments and debate, she and her mom are always practicing their debating skills, sadly i will never get to that level.
When you feed your mind negative thoughts, your mind believes what you are saying. If you say, "I will get to that level." Then your mind gets programmed and starts thinking that you are getting to that level, and you will in fact, get to that level.
@@cartergomez5390 Wow, thats a good counter-argument writing
I don't remember learning this in grammer school but it has been 14 years ago, and colledge mentioned I need this 😄🧐🧘♂️
wow this guy is a better teacher than my english professor honestly

thanks. i used this for my final project.i'm a math guy who sucks at writing but am actually confident about this one!
thank you for this gift of knowledge
Thanks for de awesome video
My book showed a sea saw. Your presentation helped me grasp the concept much better
Back in the day we used to call it research and collect evidence to prove what you are trying to prove. So I can take that approach and weave in an objection and disprove that objection. Looking forward to seeing this essay.
Actually, I am always writing essays for my own benefit, and of course I get into debate here on YT.
It makes me think in new ways, which helps me come up with new ideas, and in many cases see an argument from a new perspective..
Nice one bro thanks it helped me quite a lot
thanks this really helped
An excellent, articulate video. very helpful
You have a very smart organized brain!!! You must be my English teacher...........I got so much from your video!!! PLEASE upload more of such videos
Thank you for the video on argumentative essay.

Excellent, thanks!

Kevin deLaplante, I really like your videos. I am a college instructor who wants my students to hear someone other than me present ideas. I actually have your course on Udemy and use multiple portions of it during the semester. Thank you for being detailed and organized.
I can't believe this guy still uploads
thanks for the help

THANKS A LOT!!! U saved my life by refreshing my dead memory right before the final essay exam!!! I hope i do as good as u taught me
Noufna R how did you do ?
omg thank u!
Very good video, There's so much rubbish on the internet about essay writing. Nice to see such a serious, considered approach.
Thank you ❤❤
Thank you :)
How would I set it up for an 8-page argumentative essay? It seems I would need more than the usual 6 paragraph 3 reason format.
YOU ARE FANTASTIC
Excellent explanation! This video will come handy when developing & checking my own work. Thank you!
P.S.: I tend to be one of those sceptical people you mentioned, so I become a harsh perfectionist when writing. Do you have any advise related to outlining and brainstorming in that sense? I mean, I know I've gotta keep it simple, but my mind is sorta complex and messy when thinking, so I spend too much time in those processes.
Thanks, have to write an argumentative essay on my exam tomorrow
@blacksheep502 Do you mean just refer to negative objections without actually giving the objection (i.e. the argument)? Or do you mean just include negative/critical arguments in the essay? If the former, that's a no-no. If the latter, that's okay, but you'll still want to consider at least one objection to your objection.
Great video.
Great Videos.....
thank you , You explain better than my english teacher
I LIKE FUCKING TURTLES
thanks
A reply paragraph ? What should we include there ?
I actually do understand this 👍🏾
Thank you for this tutorial because I just did poorly on my first argument essay in Eng. 106.
I got an F using this format... my proffesor said you shouldn't contradict your self when writing an argumentative essay.
+Manuel Roman _ haha, maybe it because you think like a 2 year old
Bruh my teacher 22 year old daughter in college has a 4.0 cause of this fomat and a few tweaks
+Manuel Roman ultimately just follow the prompt and do as the teacher says. Take everything else with a grain of salt
Well that means you might have phrased it wrong and actually contradicted yourself not convincing the examiner and actually moving sides of the argument. What he meant is rebut your own argument so that you have enough ways to point out that what you're saying is ultimately right and only makes your argumentative essay rather stronger. This is fairly a decent structure.
Yea i get it , maybe it was my fault after all we were writing on on safe sex vs non safe sex and we were just split into two sides and i got fucked with non safe sex
In Spanish we say "usted conoce." This video has helped me a lot. Thanks!
hey bro estoy escribiendo un essay pero estoy teniendo problemas con el body algun consejo que e puedas dar ?
bro, puedes buscar info en esta página. owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/owlprint/724/
Esa página es dentro de lo mejor que puedes encontrar
so object the main argument with a reason and then in turn object THAT reason??
I find writing essays to be positive because it can spark up different thoughts and ways of approaching a subject. I know, it's daunting. Knowledge isn't such a bad thing, however. :)
well explained, i don't need a school teacher anymore lol, i need a virtual one
How all these be included in 100 words essay?
Wish me luck everybody, I am about to smash this 3 page AP Lang and Comp argumentative essay🔱
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm glad that people find it helpful.
Bro no one is finding it helpful
@@cuhrlitos 💀💀
Thank you
Ur the best
Not a terrible tutorial, there is helpful content here. However, a students focus is to get the damn essay written, turn it the F in, and pass. Writing an argument that later reveals an argument is weak is one thing, but suggesting to start over is the HUGEST waste of time. No no NO
I liked to write after watching this video
thank you
I stil have no idea what topic I am going to write about.
So can an argumentative essay body consist of a pro/con style, where one paragraph is written as a pro and and one paragraph is written as a con?
i don't know what he wants to say.
This is such a good video. I can't understand why it's had only 472 hits!
What software do you use to make these videos ?
Very good video 👍
what about the introductory? Are we suppose to write a thesis there?
but my teacher said that its best if u put the last paragraph as a counter-argument. any tips on that?
Wonderful! I teach ELLs and the graphic will help them a great deal. However, your rapid speech can be difficult for them to follow. Could you re-do for ELLs and slow down your speech and clarify some higher-level language a little? Thanks again for posting!!
Thanks! It's easier to make argumentative essay
