Chapter 12 is about developing your argument. You first want to understand your position and start to develop reasons for your argument. Once you have confidently chose reasons, you want to support those reasons with evidence. You can find and use evidence from sources and other gathered research. Evidence will act as concrete detail and allow your opinionated reasons to sound fact and logical. It is important to have a strong reason with evidence to support your reasoning. You also want to make sure your thesis, reasoning, and evidence is appealing to the reader and will draw in other readers. You do not want to sound opinionated, so it is important to acknowledge the opposition. The reader will enjoy reading a paper that has concrete facts to PROVE why you believe what you believe. Don't just say your position; prove your position. It is also key to stay logical so your readers can follow along.
It is also important to use reliable sources to make sure your assignment has "integrity" according to the Bedford Researcher. The book mentions "fallacies" which you need to check for, look for, search for, and locate. You need to make sure your paper is intelligent and organized with logical evidence and key supported detail.
