The purpose of writing an argument is to persuade an audience of something.
Every argument is based on the concept of claims, evidence and impacts.
A claim is a statement of something that should be or something that is arguable.
Every argument must make at least one claim, provide evidence for that claim,
and then explain how that claim impacts the argument as a whole.
Arguments will have multiple claims, and claims will probably have multiple piecies of evidence.
After this, arguments usually include a counterargument in which the claim states that a specific point the opponent makes is wrong, the evidence reveals proof of this and the impact links back to how this counterargument influences the bigger argument.

Concluding statements for your paragraphs of argumentative writing are also called impacts, and writing them is good idea because they link everything together. In your paragraphs you should have a claim and evidence to support that claim; the last thing you need is an impact in which you link your claim back to the general argument.

Acknowledging opposing arguments before they are even made lets you get a step up in persuasion. Just consider what claim your opponent is making and say something like, "Opponents say," or "Individuals often believe that," and then state their point fairly and succinctly. Once you have made their point continue with your counterpoint and evidence as to how their point is not true.
