1. Read and annotate the article on Maryville.
http://www.kansascity.com/2013/10/12/4549775/nightmare-in-maryville-teens-sexual.html
2. On separate paper, as notes, make a list of possible topics the article addresses, such as "sexual assault", "small town politics". Think of the categories that this article might be filed under. Collect as many as you can.
3. Pick 5 of these topics and write a thesis for each. Make sure you address the TOPIC not the article. Remember to break down the topic if necessary.
4. Check the theses for effectiveness (use your checklist).
5. Under each thesis you have written, write the counter argument as a thesis.
6. THEN.. you will pull EVIDENCE from the Maryville article to SUPPORT your claim. Pick 3 pieces, minimum. You will need also to pick 1 piece of evidence that would support the counterclaim. This is 4 specific pieces of evidence PER thesis. Make sure you label your counterclaim.
