Writers often face the challenge of too many ideas swirling about their heads when they sit down to draft an essay or other document. The swirling ideas can lead to writer’s block or a disorganized draft. This part of the assignment will help you bring order to an argument by using a graphic organizer like those in the WC resource “Graphic Organizers for Invention” (a copy named “Graphic Organizers for Invention” is attached for your reference) or writing an outline (I have also attached a document named “Writing an Outline,” for your reference).

Begin by reviewing the Unit 8 Assignment instructions (I have attached Unit 8 Assignment Instructions for your reference), and then respond to all of the following prompts:

• Post an outline or graphic organizer that captures and organizes at least four ideas for your persuasive essay. Be sure to include the revised thesis statement in your outline or graphic organizer. Also, include at least one misconception or opposition point to your argument that you will need to rebut in the essay.

• Post a draft version of a body paragraph that would be appropriate for your persuasive essay.
