First of all, put forward a point. Argumentative essay is the central argument to determine historical prose. That is, the author agrees, opposes, praises and criticizes. Or express your views and opinions on a historical figure or event. When considering the central argument, we should pay attention to:

1, the scientific nature of the argument

The so-called scientific argument means that the author's views and collected information should have theoretical and factual basis. That is to say, the author's views should conform to the principles of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, adhere to the four cardinal principles, be conducive to the socialist cause, and tell historical facts with well-founded or clear sources, which cannot be taken for granted or fabricated out of thin air. Only such an argument is valuable.

2. The avant-garde nature of this argument.

The avant-garde nature of argument is the consciousness of being ahead of time. To make a new argument is to write a topic that no one has written or few people have written. This requires students to have a general understanding of academic trends in recent years to avoid collision and conformity suspicion.

3. Guidance of arguments

The guidance of argument is also called the practicality of argument. The paper is for others to read, and the works should be enlightening, helpful, inspiring and rewarding to readers. This is what we usually call "making the past serve the present and making foreign things serve China".

This is the value of the paper. If someone does the opposite, it is not advisable to eulogize the blind "exclusion" of the Boxers or the negative figures, no matter how well written.

Second, after the central argument of the paper is determined, it is very important to give the paper a novel, clear and attractive topic to express the theme of the article. In a sense, the proposition of the paper is more difficult than the writing of the paper.

1, the title should be new.

On the premise of attaching importance to science, the thesis proposition should be novel and creative, not bland, and strive to achieve "language is not surprising and endless."

2. The topic should be strange

The proposition should be strange, don't engage in word games or mystifying, but use a scientific attitude and a realistic attitude to make your thesis proposition, so as to achieve the fascinating effect of the article.

3, the topic should be small

The topic of historical papers should be small rather than big. Especially middle school students who have just learned to write, don't choose big topics. The result of choosing a big topic is either big and empty or big and chaotic. I want to write all the articles, but I often can't get them out because of my ability and level.

Third, the layout

1, start and end

A good beginning is half the battle. The beginning of the paper is very important. The first paragraph should come straight to the point as far as possible, get in touch with the theme directly, and clearly put forward your own views, what you are in favor of and what you are against. It's best to have a little suspense to attract readers' attention and pursuit. The ending should be concise, thought-provoking and memorable. So some experienced authors have made great efforts at the beginning and end of the paper.

Step 2 write an outline

Thesis writing outline is the design scheme of the article. Put forward arguments first (including general arguments and sub-arguments), and then put forward arguments. Arguments include historical facts and celebrity statements. Finally came to a clear conclusion.

As for several sub-arguments, which arguments to quote, what to write first, and what to write later generally depends on the author's own habits. If necessary, or if the article is long, you can also add a subtitle to achieve a clear effect.

Four. final version

The writing of a short history essay includes three steps: drafting, revising and finalizing.

Drafting is writing the first draft. If you want to do it well, you can do it in one go. When revising, we should check the historical materials, viewpoints and languages one by one to improve the quality of the article. You can also seek the opinions of teachers and classmates, supplement the article and finalize it.
