Prewrite:  Organize with a Writing Scaffold

The Goal:  

You will brainstorm using a mind map.  You will then look for evidence to support your reasons, based on your statement of claim.    Then, you will use the mind map and evidence to complete a writing scaffold.  This will help you develop your "Best is Last" argument and organize your writing. 

​

What is your topic?  What is your statement of claim?  What evidence do you need to prove your claim?

​

Directions:   

​

1.  If you haven't done so already, make a copy of the printable.

Don't know how to make a copy?  Check out "How do I...? on the right.

​

2.  READ the instructions on the new document you just made.  If you need to review the video from the last lesson, please do that.
