Using the ideas you previously wrote in your Argument Organizer (Links to an external site.) on the topic you chose, your will write the introduction paragraph of your argument. View the grading rubric (Links to an external site.) as you complete your work. This is your guide to a super submission.

You have previously chosen a side to an issue, stated a claim, and you have written ideas about your claim in your Argument Organizer. Now you will use your ideas from the organizer (and tips from this lesson) to write the introduction to your argument.
In your introduction, remember to include:
Basic information on your topic
A reason to care about the issue
Your specific claim that is clearly focused on your issue (exclude all personal feelings and the pronoun “I”)
Write three or more complete sentences
Write in formal style using the third person point of view.
Use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Save your work to your computer or drive.
Submit your work in Introduce Your Argument.
Please note, if you wish to use the same topic for your essay in ELA and Study Essentials, that is fine for this unit.
