In this activity, you will plan, draft, and revise an argument about what it takes to make a difference. You will use the argume
ntative techniques you learned in the unit to develop your argument. TIP: As needed, refer to the instruction and examples of argument writing in the previous slides and in the Lesson Activities from previous lessons in the unit. If you completed any graphic organizers throughout this unit, you may use them while planning and developing your argument. Part A – Plan Your Argument First, plan how you'll organize and structure your argument. In the table, describe the claims, reasons, and textual evidence you'll include in each section of your argument. Include your plan for the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion of your argument. You do not have to use all the rows provided below for body paragraphs. In addition, you can choose where and how you place your counterclaims and rebuttal. TIP: Remember that you'll need to include evidence from at least three sources in your argument. If you need to directly reference the texts from this unit, you can access them in the Activity Resources.

research team included data from neighboring towns in order
to see if the water pollution was an isolated incident or more
widespread than previously thought. They did not have this data before because the towns had never shared pollution data with each
other until now.
