Hello and welcome to another video lesson on how to write an essay in this lesson.

We're going to go over the outline of what's involved in writing a discussion essay.

Now, before we begin that, I just thought we take a second to show what the difference is between an argument essay and a discussion essay.

And if you watch the video before this one, you know that an argument essay states the writers opinion at the beginning, and you probably recall this is cold a thesis, uh, and supports, uh, it It's being the writer's opinion with evidence.

Now a discussion S e is a little bit different.

A discussion essay analyzes the opinions of others and gives the writers at the end.

Okay, so in a way, an argument essay and a discussion essay or kind of inverted versions of each other in the argument essay.

You're giving your opinion right at the beginning.

You're saying this is what I believe, and then the whole estate you're saying why you believe this in a discussion essay?

You're looking at the opinions of other people, So basically, you're saying I'm looking at this person's opinion.

I'm looking at this person's opinion, and at the end you say which one you feel is stronger and which one you would agree with.

So in a way, you're not giving your opinion at all until the end of the essay.

Okay, so now if we focus just on discussion, essays, discussion, I see no discussion is he has four paragraphs first being an introduction paragraph second being a supporting paragraph, third being a second supporting paragraph and the last being a concluding paragraph.

And I'm just gonna mark these as number one and number two so we can keep track them easier.

So now the discussion essay full is the exact same paragraph format.

As the Argument s say, you're starting with an introduction paragraph.

You're following this with a supporting paragraph and then following that with another supporting paragraph and then finishing with a concluding paragraph.

Okay, Now, inside of each of these paragraphs are a number of sentences, and each sentence has its own job to do so.

If we take the introduction paragraph, the first sentence is a background statement on the topic that we're writing a boat.

The second is a detailed background statement.

So is basically a little bit more information on the topic that we introduced in the first sentence.

The third sentence is the points of view on the topic that will be analyzed.

Maybe it's if you're writing this foreign isles exam, it's gonna be probably two points of view on the topic that you're going to look at.

And then, obviously the 1st 1 is going to appear in supporting paragraph one, and the 2nd 1 is going to appear in supporting paragraph two.

Now, the last sentence is simply an outline sentence, which is basically telling us the order.

And so it's just saying that you could even just say these points of view will be discussed in this order, which means that whatever order you said them in the point in the third sentence, the sentence here, that will be the order that they will appear in the supporting paragraphs.

Okay, so, uh, if we take a make belief, statements such as McDonald's is a great restaurant.

Well, we're gonna come up with two points of view on this topic.

So the first, perhaps being that McDonald's is a great restaurant, the 2nd 1 being that McDonald's is not a great restaurant.

And we're gonna say those two points of view in the third in the third sentence of the introduction paragraph.

So if we come down to supporting paragraph one, so supporting paragraph one is basically talking about point of view number one.

So the first sentence, um, it just gives a statement of point of view one.

And if we just, uh, remember our little talk about McDonald's?

Well, here we would say it is believed by some that McDonald's is a great restaurant.

Okay, that's just stating the first point of view that were analyzing.

Now, if you listen to the way that I said that, I did not say any in any way that that's my opinion, I said, That's the opinion of others.

It is believed by some that McDonald's is a great restaurant.

The second sentence is an example that supports point of view one.

Now perhaps we don't think that McDonald's is a great restaurant, and it's kind of funny, but that doesn't matter.

We Because we're writing a discussion s a We have to show some evidence that supports point of view number one.

Okay, just to kind of show that we're discussing it.

 The good things, the bad things about each each point of view.
