My outline, graphic organizers and instructions will make it easy for students to write an argument. I have broken down the standards and looked at the exact skills students need to master them. Then, I made it easy for students to understand the organizers and images.

Form claims
Strengthen claims
Research data and facts are needed to support claims
– Create outline
-Address counterclaims, and write rebuttals
-Write the introduction and conclusion
