Text Argument Graphic Organizer + Paragraph Structure Outline

I created this graphic organizer for my students who are going to be taking the upcoming regents exams and are required to write an essay based on 4 texts they are given with an argument question. I found that if they first were able to break down the information they had first into a chart, it was easier for them to identify whether their stance was "for" or "against" the given topic question. Students then would use the information they gathered from the graphic organizer and "plug it" into the sentence-by-sentence outline so they can get into the routine of how to structure their paragraphs for this section of the test.

Hope this is helpful!
