In this lesson, students begin drafting their argument by focusing on building an effective body paragraph. In Lessons 8, 9, and 10, students work in a nonlinear process to draft their body paragraphs before their introductions in order to establish their supporting claims and evidence. The process of working backwards from the body paragraphs encourages students to develop the essential evidence and reasoning needed to craft an effective argument. The work in this lesson provides students with clarity and direction necessary for the drafting of an introduction and conclusion in Lessons 9 and 10.
