Point-by-Point:
Start each paragraph with an opposing argument--this is the topic sentence so it needs to include the topic you are writing about.
Rebuttal to that argument (be sure to use a contrasting word)
Give an example from your life to support your argument
You should have three body paragraphs in the above style. (Total = 5 paragraphs)
Conclusion:
Mention that there are two sides, but do not go into detail of the other side's points
Focus on your opinion--you can summarize your points
