This unit will consist of lessons, where you will be practicing writing claims and premises that are supported with evidence and justification. This first lesson is a preview. Please follow the directions below:

1. View the Argumentative Writing Posters (on slides 2 - 6).

2. A crime has possibly been committed, and you are a detective that has been hired to figure out what happened. Using the information on the posters will help you fill out a case report.

3. Read The Bountiful Case (on slides 7 - 8). Use the text and picture to find clues.

4. Complete the Case Report (on slides 9 - 10).
