What I have learned is exactly the same you mentioned earlier. However, I would add a few things. For me, the sketch of an argumentative goes like this:
1.Intro
2.first Argument
3.2nd argument
4.3rd argument
5.4th argument
6. counter argument and refute it
7. counter argument and refute it
8. one or two para(s) of recommendation (NOT APPLICABLE IN EVERY ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY)
9.Conclusion
Having said that, you can add one para after the introduction about the topic. For instance, if you are asked to write an essay on 'Is colonial mentality impeding Pakistan's progress?' you can write a short para on what Colonial mentality actually is and what it entails. And then move on to your first argument.
Any disagreement is happily welcome. Regards.
