2. THE BASIC IDEA WEB
Main Argument
Sarah’s ribbon is not a hat
Does not cover her head
Does not protect her head
Supporting Argument
Supporting Argument
The bubble in the middle contains your main argument.
Bubbles stemming off of that contain your supporting arguments.

3. Next, you start adding evidence to back up your supporting arguments:
Sarah’s ribbon is not a hat
Does not cover her head
Does not protect her head
Not fitted to her head
Would not keep head dry
Does not cover her whole head
Too flimsy
Add more evidence . . .
And more evidence . . .
Until you have enough evidence to back up each supporting argument!
