I think argument templates are a good starting point. They help create an argument that doesn’t skip any steps. However, sometimes when you follow this step-by-step approach, it can become very boring. In addition, the reader might recognize the template and be less likely to be convinced by your argument because he believes you are simply filling in the blanks of the template. Additionally, these templates are simplistic and when your argument follows them strictly it can be deemed as not a sophisticated piece of writing. I think templates help you plan out your argument so that you don’t miss any vital points in your argument. However, I do not believe your essay should necessarily follow the format of the template.
