Context: What happened before? What is going on now?
Body Paragraph One: Argument + Line of Reasoning. Refer to at least 2 of the documents given that relate to the line of reasoning, then explain how they support the argument. Source (mention the intended audience or POV of the author) one document. Give one piece of outside information that relates to the Line of Reasoning.
