Week3 : Classical Argument Outline

1. The introduction, which warms up the audience, establishes goodwill and rapport with the readers, and announces the general theme or thesis of the argument.

I will start by describing the situation everyone is already familiar with: Trial is necessary to solve the problems occur in our societies and the kinds of trials according to the kinds of criminals. Then I will say the flaw of existing trials (it does not contain nations' opinion) and claim Civic Participation in Criminal Trials as the solution of it.

2. The narration, which summarizes relevant background material, provides any information the audience needs to know about the environment and circumstances that produce the argument, and set up the stakes-what’s at risk in this question. In academic writing, this often takes the form of a literature review.

I will summarize the research I've done and provide an explanation for political roles of civil juries and their good points in judging.

3. The confirmation,which lays out in a logical order (usually strongest to weakest or most obvious to most subtle) the claims that support the thesis, providing evidence for each claim.

I will write this part highlighting the impacts of the jury. And I will support my opinion by citing Professor Solomon's opinion.

4. The refutation and concession, which looks at opposing viewpoints to the writer’s claims, anticipating objections from the audience, and allowing as much of the opposing viewpoints as possible without weakening the thesis.

The audience will say that The juries are mislead by barristers' techniques as to strength of evidence. And insufficient intellect of the jury. I will rebut their opinion by referring their criteria of judging and their advantages.

5. The summation, which provides a strong conclusion, amplifying the force of the argument,  and showing the readers that this solution is the best at meeting the circumstances.

I will close with a summary of my previous points, and highlight the motive of this system (civic participation in criminal trials) by saying this system was implemented because of people's eager.
