Develop a thesis statement on the topic of pirated movies (piracy hurts the economy by, society can prevent movie piracy by, etc.) and write an argumentative essay. Strive for at least three strong arguments in addition to a counterargument and refutation. Using argumentative topic sentences that include your opinion for each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. Beginning of a sample topic sentence: The first way movie piracy hurts the economy is. Then be sure to support that claim with researched data. Conclude each paragraph with a sentence that summarizes the paragraphs main ideas. Use at least three credible sources (the author should be considered an expert on the topic in which he or she writes; try Google Scholar to search), such as books, articles, and websites, to support your thesis. Include a mix of cited paraphrases, summaries, and quotes in your argumentative research paper. Use MLA format to create proper parenthetical citations as well as a Works Cited page at the end of your essay.:
