For text responses, is it generally better to start off your body with your 'strongest' argument, or your 'weakest' and gradually strengthen your response?
-
Personally, I would normally end with my strongest argument, concluding in a stronger, more positive fashion. I've also found that if I feel an argument is particularly weak or soft that giving it an especially strong topic sentence can save + add additional marks the content itself won't provide.
-
I think it is best to start off strong, then put your weaker argument in the middle, and then finish with another strong point.
-
I don't think you should decide order based on which argument is "strongest" but based on how they logically flow into one another.
-
In my opinion, go with
...start off strong, then put your weaker argument in the middle, and then finish with another strong point.
but make sure
...they logically flow into one another.

I asked my teacher and she said the 10/10s have three equally strong arguments.
basically - y would you use a "WEAK" argument?

Touché.

Not really a 'weak' argument, just like a relatively weak point compared to your other paragraphs.
