Step One: Gathering Your Evidence
Revisit your notes, graphic organizers, and worksheets from the play. Write key points of evidence in the chart below. What did Brutus do and say that shows him to be a patriot? What did he do and say that makes him a betrayer? Then, decide what claim you will make.

Place your evidence from the play in the correct spaces.
Evidence for Brutus as a Patriot Evidence for Brutus as a Betrayer












Step Two: Writing Your Claim
Complete the following sentence: I plan to prove that...




Cross out "I plan to prove that." What remains is your clearly stated position.




Complete the following sentence: This matters because...




Cross out "This matters because." What remains is your purpose for writing.




Combine these two thoughts into one coherent sentence; this is your claim.




Your finalized claim:



Step Three: Identifying the Counterclaim
Complete the following sentence: My claim states that...




Cross out "My claim states that." What remains is your clearly stated position.




Complete the following sentence: Some may disagree with me because...




Cross out "Some may disagree with me because." What remains is the opposition's point of view.




Combine these two thoughts into one coherent sentence; this is the counterclaim.




Your finalized counterclaim:



Step Four: Planning Your Introduction
In this section of the organizer, you will plan your own introduction based on the prompt in the lesson. You may refer to the sample introduction from the lesson if needed.

Using the claim and counterclaim you have developed in steps 2 and 3, plan your introduction below.

Hook:


Bridge:


Counterclaim:


Bridge with transition:


Claim:


Step Five: Writing Your Introduction
Copy and paste your sentences from the plan in step four into paragraph format here. Read your completed paragraph to yourself and add transitions and domain-specific words to make your introductory paragraph flow from one idea to the next.

Answer:

We can say that Brutus was a patriot because he was fighting for the rights of the roman citizens, even though he made a plot against Ceasar. A sentence that supports the idea is: "With this I depart: that, as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself when it shall please my country to need my death.". Two Ideas that counterpart the idea that Brtus was a patriot: 1) "Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?" probably stating how he wanted caesar to be dead. and 2) "Caesar you can rest now, I didn't kill you half as willingly" expression that also denotes hate for the person who was governor.

Explanation:

You are required to acquire proof of Brutus's patriotism and betrayal from the play in step one of the process. You must jot down the most important details that demonstrate his behavior and statements for each area.

You are required to finish a sentence that states your assertion in step two. In order to properly clarify your argument, start by crossing out "I plan to prove that" and concentrate on the remaining sentence. Cross out "This matters because" and replace it with the goal of your essay in another sentence.

To make your claim, combine these two ideas into one statement. The counterclaim must be identified in step three by a whole sentence. To clearly clarify your argument, start by crossing out "My claim states that" and concentrate on the remainder of the sentence.

Cross out "Some may disagree with me because" in another sentence, then finish the sentence by stating the other viewpoint. To create the counterclaim, combine these two ideas into a single sentence. You must structure your introduction in step four based on the claim and counterclaim you created in phases two and three.

A bridge connecting the hook to the issue, a presentation of the counterclaim, and finally a transition bridging the gap with the introduction of your claim are all necessary. The final stage asks you to compose your introduction paragraph by pasting the sentences from your plan from step four into step five.

To ensure a fluid flow between ideas, read your paragraph and add transitions and domain-specific vocabulary. To gather proof for your accusations and counterclaims, don't forget to consult your play notes, graphic organizers, and worksheets.

As a senior at Patrick Henry High School, I've noticed that the greatest problem facing public schools is large class size. For the
past three years, certain circumstances have allowed me to attend smaller classes in English and history. Now the pilot program
is over, and I am once again enrolled in regular-size classes. Comparing the former experience with my current situation, in
which my English class is comprised of more than 40 students, the advantages of smaller classes become readily apparent. In my
current English class, effective teaching and learning have been sacrificed to the administrative advantage of fewer classes
holding greater numbers of students. Although in terms of test scores the class has been deemed successful, stu
participation in such a large class is limited to a select few; individual conferences with the teacher are hard to get due to the
sheer number of students; and papers take weeks to get graded. In smaller classes, however, it has been my experience that all
students participate, classes are more focused and on task, and the teacher develops a closer relationship to the students. These
factors allow students to learn and develop their abilities. They also allow teachers to effectively critique their students' work.
Moreover, in small classes, students can develop working relationships with one another-a camaraderie nonexistent in larger
classes. If the public school system were to cut class size in half, to approximately 15 to 20 students each, the benefits would
manifest themselves immediately. If we wish to improve the level of education in public schools today, we must reduce class
size.
What could function as a counter-claim to this writer's argument?
A)evidence that some teachers prefer larger classes
B)evidence that smaller classes create competition between students
C)evidence that larger class sizes are actually beneficial to learning
D)evidence that larger and smaller classes each have their own set of
challenges

A Bee Mystery

Recent surveys around the world have found some very sad and troubling news. Bees are not doing well. According to Time: Science & Space, "an estimated ten million beehives ... have been lost since 2006." What's worse, scientists are not sure why. Most beekeepers will tell you that bees tend to die in large numbers every spring. This is normal and necessary to keep a hive of bees healthy. But when the deaths add up to more than half the bees in an entire country, that is something altogether different and dire. Scientists have called this "colony-collapse disorder" or CCD. This name describes the effect, though, and not the cause of the die-out. Scientists simply do not know what is killing the bees.

Many things make it hard for bees. Varroa mites move into a colony and weaken it. Further, these mites carry viruses that attack those that survive. In addition, a new bacterium was recently discovered that attacks bees intestinally and kills them. Beekeepers go to great lengths to protect bees from these invaders, and for many years have been able to control them. All these attackers and the methods used to combat them do stress the bees, however.

Many feel the problem is not some new threat, but a decline in the habitat available to bees. Development of grasslands once home to wild flowers and food for bees has been universal. Pavement makes it easy to drive, but it replaces wild grasses and other food sources for bees. Perhaps, long before the mites and parasites moved in, humans took away enough of the bees' habitat to weaken their health. We plowed under a varied habitat and planted—in many cases—a single plant like beets. Then we sprayed all kinds of chemicals on the beets to keep other bugs away and in doing so also harmed bees. Now, to treat all the mites and other invaders, bee keepers use additional chemicals to kill the invaders. These chemicals also shorten the life of the bees. Have the use of chemicals, loss of habitat, and invading parasites made life impossible for bees? Experts continue to argue various theories, but few have any answers.

Colony collapse disorder is perhaps one of the most mysterious problems modern science has tried to solve. Whether the problem is environmental or an unknown disease, we will all feel the effects if bees continue to decline. Bees affect almost every aspect of the human food chain. From the fruits, vegetables, and grains we eat, to the grasses and grains we feed our livestock, we depend on bees to keep us healthy. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, bees account for 15 billion dollars in crops. Honey is a treasure for sure, but the real gold is in the strawberries, apples, peaches, and green beans we eat and need to stay healthy ourselves. All told, the outlook for bees is not good. The outlook for humans may not "bee" so good either.

Which word from the text best summarizes how scientists view colony-collapse disorder?
Bacterium
Invaders
Mysterious
Healthy
