Check understanding
- Write an argument essay with a clear claim supported by at least three pieces of evidence
- Acknowledge and respond to a counterclaim rather than ignoring opposing views
- Use linking words and phrases (however, furthermore, consequently) to connect claims, reasons, and evidence
