Planning an Argument essay

Planning an Argument essay

Look at the following essay question that Jane is given in the test.
Argument essay question

Teenage offenders should be treated in the same way as adult criminals.
Do you agree?

Planning an Argument essay is similar to planning other Task 2 essays. However, you will need to decide if you agree or disagree with the viewpoint presented in the question. You may find this difficult to decide and in the end, the viewpoint you present in your essay may depend on the number and quality of ideas you can think of when you plan your essay.

Agree:

    all criminals should be punished
    same result of crime whether committed by an adult or child
    there has been an increase in numbers of young criminals
    easier/cheaper for the legal system to treat all criminals equally
    better protection for society by sending criminals to jail

Disagree:

    teenage offenders often under pressure
    often influenced by drugs/alcohol
    pressure from parents/school
    teenagers don’t always think about their actions & the consequences
    we should help teenage criminals to understand the effects of wrong behaviour
    many negative influences in life
    violent computer games
    give teenagers lesser punishment
    teenagers not as smart as adults
    community service
    give rehabilitation
    negative effects of jail may damage their future
