In chapter 11 of the Wadsworth reading, the authors discuss how to arrange your argument and sewing all of the research found, together. According to the authors, there are four types of arguments: evaluations, where people judge an object against a specific set of criteria, definitions, the author makes a claim about how a specific object fits into a category, proposals, making a plan for action that will solve a problem, and finally cause-and-effect, describing why something has happened.
After the authors go over those points for arguments, they emphasize methods of delivery. For academic essays, which is what one primarily writes in college courses, it was suggested to used the IMRAD format. This stands for Introduction, Methodology, Results, Analysis, and Discussion. There are other ways to deliver to the audience and what a writer uses is heavily dependent upon the rhetorical situation, mostly who is the audience.
This chapter is extremely important when putting together a paper, especially when trying to make the information within the writing cohesive.
