You simply have to have a point of view and enough experience abut yout topic to write a convincing argument. You should show an awareness of at least one opposing side to the argument so you can address the opposing view. Your argument should be supported by three reasons, at least.

and Essay criteria is 
The Assignment:
In an argumentative essay of 2,000 words or more, address the following prompt. This essay should feature a well-developed thesis and appropriate evidence to support your claims. You must engage and cite at least one essays from in this class (from HW 1-3), and three outside nonfiction articles. Be sure to provide thorough analysis of all quotes and examples, and include your own argument based on your perspective on the topic.
The Prompt:
Pick an ongoing or recent social issue, political event, or newsworthy situation to focus on. Provide some context for this issue. Describe the situation, who is affected, and why it is occurring. Describe the different perspectives or stances on this topic. Why do people feel the way they do? What is your stance? Use examples from articles and your own experiences, observations, or perspective to support your claims.
The Research:
The outside sources can be any nonfiction essays of your choice. You may choose to use news articles, personal essays, research essays, academic articles from the DVC Library database, or any combination that relates to your topic. The outside essays may bring a new perspective on the topic, present a counter-argument to the assigned text(s), or provide an example that supports your claims. If you choose to cite news articles, your sources should be legitimate news outlets that adhere to journalistic standards. (Note that this does not mean that the source is unbiased; all writing has some form of bias.) I recommend news sites like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Democracy Now, NPR, BBC,  The Nation, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Economist, etc. (You are not required to use these; they are simply suggestions.) It would be most helpful if your articles are in-depth rather than a few brief paragraphs. You may also use opinion pieces but be sure to be aware of the author’s intention.
The Formatting:
This essay will be in MLA format. This means it will be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point font (I prefer Times New Roman), with page numbers and your last name on each page, and a header on the first page. Your title should be original, and you must include a Works Cited page. Be sure to include in-text citations in the body of the essay. For help with MLA formatting and citations, please see the handouts on Canvas in “Resources for Essays.”
Note: Words and phrases that are underlined on this page will be taken into consideration when grading.
And most important thing is engage and cite at least one essays from in this class (from HW 1-3) i will paste one essay (hw.1) 
Also I will paste my brainstorming about this essay 
For my first essay, I have chosen the topic of “Free Palestine,” in which I will specifically examine the ongoing Gaza-Israel conflict and international relations that surround it. This is an extremely current and delicate subject of interest in light of the recent spike in death tolls and actions by world powers.
What are you going to write about?
I am going to write about the Gaza-Israel conflict, with a focus on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza itself, as well as what has happened historically between these two places throughout time leading up until now; additionally considering the various international perspectives concerning this matter. In this essay I plan on trying to understand where did it all start from? Who is directly involved? What are some consequences for civilians caught up within such conflicts entirely? So that we can know why they keep happening.
What examples will you use?
My supporting evidence will come from specific events cited either through news articles or academic papers published recently. For example, there may be reports from The New York Times or BBC among others, which could be used to educate classmates about what is currently happening over there at this very moment within those regions controlled by Hamas and also under Israeli occupation too; I might even call upon a historian who can help shed more light by referring back towards older writings such as books etcetera but also scholarly journals alongside other historical records so that we gain insight into how everything came about prior this stage. Moreover personal accounts on imposed restrictions should not miss out since they give us an opportunity see things differently putting ourselves shoes another person who has been affected by war like situation hence showing humanity even further.
How will you go about doing research?
Both primary and secondary sources shall form basis for my study. Different kinds of articles will therefore be used which provide updated facts together with contemporary analysis coupled political historic background knowledge apart from eye opening real life experiences shared through essays among others so as not only enlighten but also entertain readers who come across them during their reading journey throughout this paper. In order to maintain credibility while using information gathered, I shall ensure that sources are drawn from reputable media houses which adhere journalism ethics principles for verification authenticity purpose. Additionally, DVC library database will be utilized where relevant materials like books containing content about conflict international relations exist; further scrutiny these publications is necessary in order bring out connections between various views as well as highlight any possible biases found within them.
What will your main argument be?
My main argument is that the international community has a moral and political responsibility to support Palestinian cause push for peaceful settlement of Gaza-Israel conflict. I will emphasize on the point that this crisis was brought about by systemic injustice continuous aggression against people living there therefore more should be done by International actors at all levels starting with powerful states up to IOs who can play intermediary roles while protecting human rights for those affected most directly on ground. Through historical background information, current happenings personal stories shared I hope create interest among readers so they can understand why “Free Palestine” not just another slogan but rather an imperative need towards worldwide fairness.
