Flexible Research Paper Outline Cards
Description:Cards for students to use as a "flexible outline" (see accompanying lesson plan and assignment sheet). I recommend copying the body paragraph cards on different colored paper. Once students have completed these cards, they can put them in order and their paper should be completely outlined and ready to write.

Flexible Outline Lesson Plan
Description:Basic Lesson Plan for introducing the Flexible Outline and modeling a body paragraph evidence card. If students are not familiar with introducing quotes and writing their own commentary from earlier units then those two skills will need to be taught prior to this lesson and assignment, or this lesson and assignmen will need more time and scaffolding to accomodate the teaching of those skills concurrently.
