Writing an Argument Essay: Gathering Evidence

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Writers work on a plan for their argumentative essays using a Pygmalion Essay Planner to help develop a claim and counterclaim for their essays. They determine what information from the Eliza Character Tracker to incorporate and write it on sticky notes. To finish, they participate in a peer review to get feedback on their plans.
