This is an excellent skill to develop. Sometimes grad students have to write like this: thesis/problem, evidence, show that it comes from a trend with specific causes, define pertinent words, tell the setting where it is significant, tell about potential solutions or actions to take, and show that they are feasible.

I use this method when I argue with friends and family, and they don't stand a chance! I always win. :-)

So... what do you need help with!? Ha ha...
How long should this paper be? Just put what you have written (in your post above) into an intro paragraph, and start the article review. Your thesis for your paper is what you say the thesis of the article is, and you can use your body paragraphs to support your argument that the article's thesis is what you say it is.

Use quotes from the article, and paraphrase parts of it. Do this to support YOUR thesis which is your statement: "The argument being made in the article is that, although the sales tax is intended to benefit business and spur job creation in its wake, it is actually chasing away customers."
