If you have a star on your thesis statement you're ready to start your graphic organizer. If your thesis statement has "edit" or a question, you need to get a star before you get a computer to begin your rough draft.
- remember that, preferably your 3rd body paragraph, needs to acknowledge a counter argument
- you must also have at least TWO text based details to support you argument (and counter argument) in each of your body paragraphs-cite them!
You can try this interactive graphic organizer to plan your essay:

You can also use the graphic organizers we have available to you in the classroom
