This outline is very well structured, however what is your "side" of the topic so to speak? This seems more informative than persuasive/argumentative.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennica. Your information is good, but the big thing here is you need to persuade the reader and argue why sleep deprivation is a bad thing. You should also show research that opposes your side. Maybe some of our greatest thinkers were sleep deprived? Or our creative artists were? This could be an argument. Just be sure to support your claim and take a stance on the issue.
