Example Gathering Evidence Graphic Organizer -- USE THIS EXAMPLE TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT MRS. SCHMITT IS LOOKING FOR IN YOUR DOCS.

What should our team do if we found all 15 pieces of evidence?

  • What arguments do you think the opposing team will bring up? Research some answers so you will have a rebuttal. Don't know what a rebuttal is? Look it up.
  • Think about a thesis statement. Claim + because + reason 1, reason 2, and reason 3. What are your team's top 3 reasons to support your side of the argument? Gather further research for those three reasons specifically.

The more information you research and gather now, the easier it will be for you to debate your topic and ultimately write your argumentative paper (which we will do later)
