Writing Your First Argument
• You will know what to write based on what the thesis statement!
EX: Even though some people believe child labor is a violation of human rights, there should be exceptions for child labor because it is an income option for families in economic need, a high poverty rate makes it necessary, and being employed can keep kids away from trouble.
• Based on this, my first argument will be that Child Labor is a good thing because it helps families that are in economic need.
