Question

Imagine you are assigned an argumentative essay outlining if laptops or tablets are better. Use the nonfiction writing style of "The Early History of the Generation and Use of Steam" as an inspiration. Write an effective and well-organized topic sentence to introduce a claim. Write another sentence outlining a key claim.

Answer 1

First a claim such as, "Imagine you are assigned an argumentative essay outlining if laptops or tablets are better."

Then i would elaborate on one of the points. "Laptops are more versatile than tablets with their ability to do schoolwork, code, and play video games."

Step-by-step explanation:

It does not specifically say write an essay, it just says imagine being assigned one.

Answer 2

Let me just write two rudimentary drafts on this essay of laptops vs tablets. Personally, I think laptops are better, so I'll say that in my essay.

Thesis: Laptops on the whole are better because of their ease of access, software availability, and streamlined feel.

Now let me pick one of those points and write a topic sentence:

Topic: The ease of access on laptops, especially keyboards, make laptops a better choice.

Topic: The wider range of software available for laptops makes them a clear choice over tablets.

I don't know what you think, but this is what I'd do!
