An Outline on Outlining

Aim: How do we analyze the relationship between claims, reasons, and evidence in an argument essay? (Outlining)

Quick Write: Think about the last argument you had with someone that you are willing to share. Which side did you take and what were your reasons for taking that side?

I. Option #1
You may choose to use this graphic organizer to outline your essay. (Hard copies are available in the classroom.)

II. Option #2
Click here for an interactive persuasion map. This is also available under "Resources" in the righthand margin. Note: The map does not offer a section for counterclaims. You will have to provide for that yourself.

III. Option #3
Click here to see my outline and annotated body paragraph for my argument essay on blind obedience. (Hard copies are available in the classroom.)

Here is the rubric by which it will be graded.
