Argument Essay Reason 3 Counterclaim Rebuttal Conclusion Introduction Thesis Statement: Reason 1 Reason 2 Reason 3 Counterclaim Rebuttal Conclusion

Analyze Example FIRST Practice: Analyze an example argument essay and recognize how it is structured. Looking at a model of what you are supposed to do helps you accomplish your task later

Analyze Example STEP 1: Analyze the prompt STEP 2: Read Example text set Mark texts for evidence Discuss how that evidence could be used to support both sides STEP 3: Read Example Essay STEP 4: Use graphic organizer to analyze the structure of the example

Example Argument Essay Prompt: Is it better to be at the center of one group of friends or at the perimeter of several?

Prompt: Is it better to be at the center of one group of friends or at the perimeter of several?

Analyzing your prompt What are the two possible sides of this argument? One will be your claim … the other will be your counterclaim

Prompt: Is it better to be at the center of one group of friends or at the perimeter of several?

Prompt: Is it better to be at the center of one group of friends or at the perimeter of several?

p.4 Read as a whole class. Mark together as a think aloud helped by class. Ask which evidence could be used to support one side, then ask which evidence could be used to support the other side.

p.5 Read together as a whole class. Give time to mark text alone. Tell them to mark evidence that would support either side. Notes- Elaborate/ explain why that quote would support that side of the argument.

Remember, this is basically your elaboration p.5 Remember, this is basically your elaboration Improves how you feel about yourself when you feel you belong (small group) More stability (small group) Controlling groups can prevent growth (Many Friends) Provides more social freedom & variety (many friend circles) Come back together as a whole class and discuss what evidence was marked and for what reasons. Can help a teen transition when getting out of a small group of friends (many friend circles)

Prompt: Is it better to be at the center of one group of friends or at the perimeter of several?

Evidence Supporting Small Groups Evidence Supporting Many Groups Analyzing Evidence Evidence Supporting Small Groups Evidence Supporting Many Groups “I helped decide things like what we were going to do for fun, where we would sit in the lunch room, and who we would hang out with.” “Being part of a small, tight group can bolster a teen’s sense of identity, supply a feeling of belonging, and provide close, loyal, and lasting friendships.” “Being part of a group can mean fewer awkward social moments, fewer decisions to make, and more social stability and security.” In a small group “it is hard to change and try new things without your friends getting mad at you or thinking you are rejecting them.” “I like being involved with a few groups and getting to know kids with different interests, even if I’m not right at the center of things” “It’s a relief not to have to worry about any of the intense friendship drama and just have fun doing cool activities and meeting new people.” “Being the center of a tightly knit group can mean that there is less freedom to explore, meet new friends, and try out other interests and ideas” “Maintaining a variety of friendships, some close, and some more casual, can help a teen through a tough transition out of a group.”

Exit Ticket: What would be your claim? Give one piece of evidence to support your claim. What would be your counterclaim? Give one piece of evidence to support your counterclaim.
