Interesting High School Argumentative Essay Topics
September 21, 2022
Argumentative essays are meant to convince the readers concerning the facts, value conclusions, and arguments shared by the writer. The main elements that should be considered when writing good argumentative essays include establishing facts that support the main arguments.
The Second element is to clarify the values relevant to the intended audience.
There is also a need to ensure that the values and facts are placed coherently and cohesively; this requires students to prioritize their ideas and edit them in the right sequence. Many high school students find argumentative essay writing a major challenge.
They do not know how to ensure that their points are persuasive enough.
Argumentative Essay Writing
It is important to know that writing essays should not be a matter of informing the readers of what they know, ensuring that they believe and be convinced of the issues being presented. For one to write argumentative essays, a student needs to present the objectives of their analysis by presenting the topic’s key ideas, concepts, and issues.
This is the introduction part that will help the reader know the controversial issues of the subject. The opening section will also give the readers a clue about the position the writer is supporting; this is possible by writing a thesis statement.
Waste a Lot of Time
Essay writing is challenging, but the other most important thing is the topics you select for your essays. Many students can usually write their essays and term papers effectively. Still, they waste a lot of time on the title, thinking that it makes their deadlines closer which can cost their academic lives difficult in the long term.
It would help if you found some interesting high school argumentative essay topics before writing your essays and term papers.

- Is our society male-dominated, or do we practice equal sharing?
- Should fathers get paid paternity leave from work as well?
- Is there any dissimilarity between illegal drugs and cigarettes?
- Is keeping newspaper reporters’ sources a secret ethical?
- Is global warming real? And Global warming, fact or fiction.
- Since some religious groups are not resistant to atheists, should nonbelievers be large-minded of such religious communities?
- Is cloning good or bad?

- Should the death penalty be abolished?
- Do we follow a fair taxation system?
- Arguments for and against euthanasia.

Essay Writing Tips and Resources for Junior & High School Students
Essay writing as a skill.
Students sometimes see essay writing as something you are either good at or you aren’t. This is a mistake, and leads to a lack of effort and a lot of essays that don’t live up to their potential. Writing a good essay is a skill, one that can be practiced and improved upon. With these essay writing tips and the resources linked to in the sections below, students can learn to start producing papers they can be proud of.

Brainstorming and Preparation
Picking a Topic: A good essay starts long before any actual writing happens. The first thing you’ll need to do is select a topic. Good essay topics take careful thought—don’t just decide to write about the first thing that comes to mind. One guideline to remember is that, in general, the narrower your topic is the better. A specific, restricted topic helps you keep your essay organized and focused. It’s also best to choose a topic you find interesting—even in the most boring of subjects or books there’s likely to be one aspect that interests you on some level.
Doing Research: Depending on the type of essay, the next step may be to do some research. Be sure to allocate plenty of time for this very important task. Use as many different kinds of materials as possible—from websites to books to documentaries—and keep an eye out for themes and ideas that keep popping up. These are the kinds of things that should probably make an appearance in your essay. And don’t forget to take notes during the research process, so you’ll be able to find the information and quotes you need later on.
Outlining: Then you’re ready to starting outlining your essay. This can be as specific or as general as you want, but it’s best to approach each essay with a plan in mind rather than writing it from scratch. If you at least have an idea of what main ideas you are going to cover and in what order, you’ll take a lot of stress out of the actual writing process. Graphic organizers such as mind maps and Venn diagrams can really help you get your ideas in order and make sense of all your notes and information.
Types of Essays
The other thing you’ll want to do before you start writing is consider the essay’s genre. Each type of essay has its own rules and conventions. You don’t want to finish the conclusion just to realize that your persuasive essay has somehow turned into a research paper. These are a few of the essay writing genres most commonly assigned:
Research Papers: A research paper is meant to educate the reader about something, so this type of essay is the one that requires the most research. It should also be very formal, and should include plenty of quotes and citations.
Persuasive Essays : The whole point of this kind of paper is to convince your audience to agree with you about something. Everything you write, every fact and quote you use, should be focused on strengthening your argument and the persuasive power of your essay.
Literary Analysis: These essays are about a particular book or other text, but this isn’t a book report. You’ll want to summarize the book briefly, but the bulk of the paper needs to be about analyzing and interpreting it (or certain aspects like a particular character or theme).
Compare and Contrast Essays: This is pretty straightforward—in this type of essay you’ll need to compare and contrast two or more things (books, time periods, countries, paintings, etc). The most common issue students have with these papers is focusing too much on comparing and forgetting to contrast, or vice versa.
Reflective Essays : Also called personal essays or narrative essays, these papers are about your personal experiences. They will be structured more like a story, and so won’t follow the usual five-paragraph format. Also, this is the only kind of essay you probably won’t need to do any research for.
Writing the Essay
It’s finally time to start writing the first draft. Don’t worry about editing at this point, or about getting everything perfect. It’s best to just write a full first draft, then go back to revise it and make sure it sounds smooth and is well-organized. It can even help to skip the introduction and go straight to the body paragraphs , then come back and write the introduction at the end. After all, you won’t be completely sure what your paper is about until it’s actually written. Make sure to be familiar with the five-paragraph essay format as many teachers require you to write this way, and even if they don’t, it provides a helpful structure to follow.
Your most powerful tools for keeping yourself organized and focused during the essay writing process are your thesis and topic sentences. The thesis statement can usually be found at the end of the first paragraph, and provides a general guideline for what you’re going to discuss throughout the essay. Each body paragraph should then start with a topic sentence , which is like a mini thesis that provides an outline for just that paragraph. Everything in a paragraph should relate back to its topic sentence, and every topic sentence should relate back to the thesis statement. This keeps you from rambling and makes your essay easier to read (and grade).
Intros and Conclusions
These two parts of your paper deserve a special mention for two reasons. Many students find these paragraphs the hardest to write, and at the same time they are arguably the two most important paragraphs. After all, the introduction and conclusion are the first and last parts of your writing the teacher will see, and so are very influential on their impressions about your essay.
Introductions : The most crucial part of the intro paragraph is the last sentence or two, which constitutes the thesis statement (see above). But what about the rest of the paragraph? A good strategy is to start general and narrow down into your specific topic. For example, you might start by mentioning the tragic effects of war in general, and then move into discussing WWII is particular. It can also help draw reader interest to start the introduction with a quote, question, brief story, or personal experience (avoid starting with a dictionary definition though—that tactic is overused and not terribly professional).
Conclusions : It’s a good idea to devote the first few sentences of the conclusion to giving a brief summary of what you’ve discussed in your essay—in short, to restating your thesis statement. But you don’t want to just summarize in your conclusion. That’s redundant, and not very interesting. Instead, use the second half of the conclusion to answer the questions “So what?” and “Who cares?” Consider relating your paper to a current event or important issue, introducing an interesting question for the reader to ponder, or providing a call to action.
Revising and Proofreading
A lot of students skip over these steps. But a first draft hardly ever makes for a good essay. You’ll need to go though and tighten the focus and organization, improve the grammar and sentence structures, and scan for typos and mistakes. Editing is a part of essay writing, not something separate or less important.
Good editing takes place in two steps. First is the revision stage, where you pay attention to the large-scale issues. This is where you add and delete sentences, move paragraphs, and rewrite or delete anything that isn’t working or distracts from your thesis. Make sure every paragraph addresses a single idea, and that idea is reflected in the topic sentence. Check your thesis statement—does it accurately reflect what your paper is about? During this stage you’ll also want to pay attention to how the paper sounds. Does it flow well? Are there transitions? Are all the sentences too long or too short, or is there a good variety? And consider the format of your paper—does it look professional?
Then, when you’re happy with the paper as a whole, you can begin to proofread. This involves editing for good grammar and spelling, eliminating unnecessary words , and checking facts, page numbers, and quotes to make sure they’re accurate. This reason you should do this last is that, if you don’t, you might spend a lot of time fixing the grammar in a sentence only to realize later that sentence needs to be deleted because it’s off topic. And remember not to rely on Microsoft to do these tasks for you—spell check doesn’t catch everything, and grammar check is just plain wrong at least half the time.
Avoiding Perfectionism
No essay will ever be perfect. All the same, essay writing can be a frustrating task because it’s hard to figure out exactly when you’ve finished. Put plenty of time and effort into your paper, but don’t stress yourself out by trying to write the world’s best essay. A good rule of thumb is that when you start changing things back to the way they were in your previous revision, you should probably stop and call the essay complete. Writing doesn’t have to be a stressful process, after all—and these essay writing tips will hopefully go a long way towards making it an easy and maybe even a fun process.

What’s Covered:
How to pick a good argumentative essay topic, elements of a strong argumentative essay, argumentative essay idea example topics.
Are you having writer’s block? Coming up with an essay topic can be the hardest part of the process. You have very likely encountered argumentative essay writing in high school and have been asked to write your own. If you’re having trouble finding a topic, we’ve created a list of 52 essay ideas to help jumpstart your brainstorming process! In addition, this post will cover strategies for picking a topic and how to make your argument a strong one. Ultimately, the goal is to convince your reader.
An argumentative essay tasks the writer with presenting an assertion and bolstering that assertion with proper research. You’ll present the claim’s authenticity. This means that whatever argument you’re making must be empirically true! Writing an argumentative essay without any evidence will leave you stranded without any facts to back up your claim. When choosing your essay topic, begin by thinking about themes that have been researched before. Readers will be more engaged with an argument that is supported by data.
This isn’t to say that your argumentative essay topic has to be as well-known, like “Gravity: Does it Exist?” but it shouldn’t be so obscure that there isn’t ample evidence. Finding a topic with multiple sources confirming its validity will help you support your thesis throughout your essay. If upon review of these articles you begin to doubt their worth due to small sample sizes, biased funding sources, or scientific disintegrity, don’t be afraid to move on to a different topic. Your ultimate goal should be proving to your audience that your argument is true because the data supports it.
The hardest essays to write are the ones that you don’t care about. If you don’t care about your topic, why should someone else? Topics that are more personal to the reader are immediately more thoughtful and meaningful because the author’s passion shines through. If you are free to choose an argumentative essay topic, find a topic where the papers you read and cite are fun to read. It’s much easier to write when the passion is already inside of you!
However, you won’t always have the choice to pick your topic. You may receive an assignment to write an argumentative essay that you feel is boring. There is still value in writing an argumentative essay on a topic that may not be of interest to you. It will push you to study a new topic, and broaden your ability to write on a variety of topics. Getting good at proving a point thoroughly and effectively will help you to both understand different fields more completely and increase your comfort with scientific writing.
Convincing Thesis Statement
It’s important to remember the general essay structure: an introduction paragraph with a thesis statement, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. A strong thesis statement will set your essay up for success. What is it? A succinct, concise, and pithy sentence found in your first paragraph that summarizes your main point. Pour over this statement to ensure that you can set up your reader to understand your essay. You should also restate your thesis throughout your essay to keep your reader focused on your point.
Ample Research
A typical argumentative essay prompt may look like this: “What has been the most important invention of the 21st century? Support your claim with evidence.” This question is open-ended and gives you flexibility. But that also means it requires research to prove your point convincingly. The strongest essays weave scientific quotes and results into your writing. You can use recent articles, primary sources, or news sources. Maybe you even cite your own research. Remember, this process takes time, so be sure you set aside enough time to dive deep into your topic.
Clear Structure
If the reader can’t follow your argument, all your research could be for nothing! Structure is key to persuading your audience. Below are two common argumentative essay structures that you can use to organize your essays.
The Toulmin argument and the Rogerian argument each contain the four sections mentioned above but executes them in different ways. Be sure to familiarize yourself with both essay structures so that your essay is the most effective it can be.
The Toulmin argument has a straightforward presentation. You begin with your assertion, your thesis statement. You then list the evidence that supports your point and why these are valid sources. The bulk of your essay should be explaining how your sources support your claim. You then end your essay by acknowledging and discussing the problems or flaws that readers may find in your presentation. Then, you should list the solutions to these and alternative perspectives and prove your argument is stronger.
The Rogerian argument has a more complex structure. You begin with a discussion of what opposing sides do right and the validity of their arguments. This is effective because it allows you to piece apart your opponent’s argument. The next section contains your position on the questions. In this section, it is important to list problems with your opponent’s argument that your argument fixes. This way, your position feels much stronger. Your essay ends with suggesting a possible compromise between the two sides. A combination of the two sides could be the most effective solution.

- High School Argument Topics
If the student is allowed to choose the controversial argumentative essay topics , this is, of course, the best option. The main thing is to find out which of the proposed suits you best quickly to formulate your thoughts on its account. Regardless of who chose the topic - yourself or your teacher, there are several points to be guided by:
- understanding the essence of the topic;
- questions that need to be considered in the assignment;
- the main question, which will become the basis of the essay;
- necessary conclusions.
By highlighting the main theses for each of these points, you can create a plan that will become the basis for future work. Although it's writing and creative work, everything written should be structured and relevant to the topic. The high school classroom essays are very important for the development of speech, the ability to clearly state your thoughts, analyze and draw conclusions, so you should not neglect their writing. The main thing is to study the subject well and turn on imagination, and any school topics or argumentative essay topics or college essay topics will not be so scary.
What Is the Feature of The Argumentative Essay?
Arguments are grounds, arguments given to prove something. These are facts, phenomena, events, life situations, life experience, scientific evidence, links to scientists' opinions, etc. An argument essay is a particular type of writing associated with expressing one's point of view through examples. Documented arguments are also provided to prove a certain point. An argumentative essay aims to establish empathy and intellectual interaction with the addressee to draw attention to information. The structure of the parts of an essay:
- Introduction. It contains a general description of the topic, necessary information, and a description of what will be discussed in the central part.
- Body part. Reasoned disclosure of the problem based on the collected material. Data analysis and argumentation must accurately relate to the issues raised. This part of the work includes the correlation and generalization of various views with their presentation and justification.
- Conclusion. Summary and presentation of the main arguments. Convincing proof and argumentation of your own opinion.
How To Start Choosing an Argumentative Essay Topic In High School?
Topics for argumentative essay are defined in several ways:
- At the initiative of the teacher. In this case, students are provided with a list of specific topics, from which everyone chooses their favorite.
- At the student's choice. The subject of research is a process or phenomenon that a student would like to study.
- A topic that was determined as a result of familiarization and study of special literature and periodicals in a particular industry.
- At the personal request of the student who arose in the learning process.
One of the main requirements for an essay is that the topic being developed must be relevant and meet the current level of development of science. When choosing a topic for an essay , the student needs to consult with the teacher to determine the degree of relevance of the problem in the studied area. Then, it will be essential to get advice from authoritative people on the chosen topic. Also, a great help in selecting a topic will be provided by studying argumentative essay examples. Unresolved problems of a particular industry are often mentioned and the reasons for their occurrence.
What Elements Make a Good Essay Topic?
The topic for the argumentative essay should correspond to these elements:
- clarity - the topic should not contain abstruse phrases known only to the author and a narrow circle of acquaintances;
- bibliographic accuracy - the topic must contain keywords;
- accuracy - the topic should be specific, without words-parasites;
- problematic - the topic should carry a problem that interests readers;
- compactness - the topic should not be too broad and aimed at one idea.
Beware of choosing an under-explored topic. It may sound tempting, but absolute innovation is tricky; you have to prove every idea. Are you ready for this? If you do not understand the topic, you will not be able to cope without the teacher's help. On the other hand, by choosing a topic that has already become the subject of research several times, you are likely to face difficulties in proving novelty, which practically means that your essay will not be interesting. Therefore, look for a middle ground.

- explanatory - explain the idea, concept of the author to the reader;
- discussion - reveal an idea through examples presented in an imaginary debate.
Whichever type of essay you choose, use creative writing prompts :
- Grabbing the reader's attention. The purpose of this part of the introduction to the essay is to interest and draw attention to your work - in one sentence, short phrase, aphorism. To achieve this, you can use various authoring techniques. In the same part, it is recommended to give a general overview of the topic to emphasize its importance in the general flow of information. We advise the high school argumentative essay examples to find out what issues are not yet solved.
- The body of the essay. It involves disclosing the work theme, developing argumentation and analysis, and using the rationale for theses and reflections. This is the main task of writing an essay, where necessary, graphs, charts, and tables can be used as an analytical tool. In constructing an essay, it must be remembered that one paragraph should contain only one statement and the corresponding evidence, if necessary, supported by graphic or illustrated material. While filling the selected statement with meaningful argumentation, the author must observe the main idea that he wants to express in a particular case.
- Conclusion . A well-constructed conclusion allows you to demonstrate the author's personal growth and potential in the chosen field to show personal views on the covered topic. In conclusion, it is necessary to refer to the stated thesis to demonstrate to the reader the completeness of the evidence, and steps of logical thinking, the argumentation of facts, and reflections. The essay's final statement can demonstrate your growth as a result of the research carried out and show the prospects for further development of the covered topic.
