About this Interactive

Related resources.

The Persuasion Map is an interactive graphic organizer that enables students to map out their arguments for a persuasive essay or debate. Students begin by determining their goal or thesis. They then identify three reasons to support their argument, and three facts or examples to validate each reason. The map graphic in the upper right-hand corner allows students to move around the map, instead of having to work in a linear fashion. The finished map can be saved, e-mailed, or printed.

Speech Writing Outline and Format for Students

Learning how to write a speech is a skill most students will need help refining. Guide your students through the speech writing process with the outline and descriptions below. All of the major components of a speech are included and explained in a format students can understand and apply. Once students understand the step-by-step method for crafting a successful speech, they will feel more confident speaking in front of an audience. 

I.  Introduction

The beginning of a speech is called the introduction. The introduction is important because it sets the tone for the entire presentation. The introduction can be broken into two parts: the attention grabber and the preview. 

A.  Attention Grabber: Capturing the attention of the audience is the first thing the speaker says or does. In order to do this, the speaker might tell a humorous story, ask a rhetorical question, describe a hypothetical situation, or share an interesting fact. 

B.  Preview: The second part of the introduction is when the speaker introduces himself or herself and the topic of the speech. The main points of the speech can also be presented at this time. 

II.  Body

After the introduction, the speaker transitions to the body of the speech. This is where the speaker will spend the most amount of time. The goal of the body of the speech is to clearly explain the topic. 

A. Main Points: To clearly explain the topic, the body of the speech is broken down into main points. The number of main points will vary from speech to speech. Regardless of the number, it is important to keep the main points organized in a purposeful way. Also, clear transitions between main points (and throughout the speech) are critical. Without them, the audience will have trouble following along. 

1. Supporting Details: Each main point needs supporting material to help the audience understand and remember that point. Examples, explanations, visual aids, and props can be used as supporting material.

III. Conclusion

The conclusion puts the finishing touches on the speech. It lets the audience know that the speech is about to end. Like the introduction, the conclusion can be broken into two parts: the review and the final statement. 

A.  Review: During the first part of the conclusion, the speaker restates the topic of the speech and each main point. 

B.  Final Statement: The speech ends with a strong final statement. The final statement addresses the topic one last time in a powerful and meaningful way. The purpose of the final statement is to round out the speech and provide the audience with a strong signal that the presentation is complete.

What is a Debate?

Debating is a valuable skill that can help students develop higher-level thinking and argumentation skills. By participating in debates, students can learn to organize their thoughts, research topics, and present their arguments in a clear and convincing manner. However, preparing for a debate can be challenging, especially for young learners. To help students prepare for debates, teachers can use a variety of resources such as graphic organizers, templates, and task cards.

What is a Debate Worksheet?

A debate worksheet is a planning document for a debate. Most debate preparations use evidence cards, flow sheets, and constructive speech templates but teachers have the option to create their own type of debate preparation worksheet.

Debate Graphic Organizers

One way to help students organize their thoughts and arguments is by using debate graphic organizers. These organizers can help students map out their arguments and counter-arguments, as well as identify evidence to support their claims. Some examples of debate graphic organizers include:

• T-Chart: These types of debate worksheet templates allow students to compare and contrast two opposing viewpoints, with one viewpoint on each side of the chart.
• Venn Diagram: This organizer helps students identify similarities and differences between two opposing viewpoints.
• Spider Map: This organizer allows students to brainstorm ideas and arguments related to a particular debate topic.

Debate Templates for Students

Another useful resource for preparing students for debates is debate templates. These templates provide students with a structured format for organizing their arguments and notes. Some examples of debate templates include:

• Debate Prep Worksheet: This template guides students through the process of researching and preparing for a debate.
• Debate Notes Template: This template provides students with a space to take notes on their research and arguments.
• Debate Preparation Worksheet: This template helps students organize their arguments and counter-arguments before the actual debate.
• Debate Planning Sheet: To help students prepare for the actual debate, teachers can provide them with a debate planning sheet. This sheet includes the debate format, rules, and guidelines, as well as the debate topics and argument assignments. Students can use this sheet to plan their arguments and prepare their speaking notes.

Using these templates in actual debate scenarios is very helpful. During the actual debate, students can use their notes and outlines to present their arguments and respond to their opponents' arguments. By participating in actual debates in the classroom, students can practice their debating skills, higher level thinking capabilities and improve their overall ability to articulate their opinions.

Why Are Debate Sheets Important and How Are They Best Used?

Debates are an important way to share ideas and to critically analyze information. Debates challenge speakers to carefully research both sides of a topic or question, and come up with solid evidence to support their chosen side, while at the same time anticipating problems and providing solutions. Students may find these skills will also help them in persuasive writing and research papers. Debates also encourage public speaking skills and careful listening skills.

There are many resources available online that teachers can use to help students prepare for debates. These resources include different types of debate worksheets, graphic organizers, templates, task cards, and planning sheets. By providing students with these resources, teachers can help students organize their thoughts, research topics, and present their arguments in a clear and convincing manner. Debating is a valuable skill that can help students develop higher-level thinking and argumentation skills, and these resources can help young learners develop these skills.

Planning: A Debate Outline Example

Knowing how to write an outline for a debate may not come naturally but by following these steps, you can create a strong debate outline example template that will help you to deliver a convincing argument. Remember to keep your arguments organized and supported by evidence, anticipate the opposing side's arguments, and use transition words to ensure a smooth flow of ideas.

• Choose a Debate Topic: The first step in making a debate outline is to choose a topic. Make sure the topic is debatable and has clear arguments on both sides.
• Research the Topic: Conduct thorough research on the topic to understand the different viewpoints and arguments. Gather evidence and data to support your position.
• Identify Key Arguments: Identify the key arguments for your side of the debate. These arguments should be supported by evidence and should be able to counter the opposing side's arguments.
• Organize the Arguments: Organize the arguments in a logical order. Start with the strongest argument, followed by the next strongest, and so on. Ensure that each argument flows smoothly into the next.
• Include Rebuttals: Anticipate the opposing side's arguments and include rebuttals for each of them. Address each point the opposing side is likely to make and refute them with strong evidence.
• Add Transitions: Use transition words and phrases to help your speech flow smoothly from one argument to the next. Examples of transition words include "furthermore," "in addition," and "however."
• Include an Introduction and Conclusion: Begin your outline with a strong introduction that captures the audience's attention and presents your stance. End with a powerful conclusion that restates your main arguments and leaves a lasting impression on the audience.
• Practice: Practice delivering your speech using the outline. Ensure that you stick to the time limit and that your arguments are clear and concise.

3-step diagramming

Free Editable Problem and Solution Graphic Organizer Examples

Problem and solution diagrams are useful tools that can be used in order to describe an issue or problem along with proposed steps for its elimination as well as a final solution at the end. If you are looking to understand more about problem and solution graphic organizers , keep on reading till the end. In this post, we are going to touch up some base concepts about these organizers while explaining some examples along the way.

1. What is a Problem and Solution Graphic Organizer

In summation, a problem and solution graphic organizer is defined as a graphical representation of a problem-solving process. The diagram involves writing the essence of the problem in the beginning, then suggesting steps for resolving it, and finally coming up with a solution. By using these diagrams, it becomes easy for a person or team to organize the relevant information into an easily perusable and understandable form.

The reason why problem and solution diagrams are so important is that they are easy to read and present. Should an organization face a problem or issue, the relevant team or department can come up with a simple and straightforward graphic organizer that depicts the best route forward while enumerating the steps necessary for taking that certain route.

If there is any modification that needs to be made with a certain aspect of the solution, it can be easily done so since every step will be separately and clearly mentioned.

2. The Problem and Solution Graphic Organizer Examples

Problem and solutions graphic organizers are used for depicting the steps needed for reconciliation when a certain problem arises. If two or more parties are involved in the resolution of any issue, it is important for them to be on the same level of understanding. Similarly, if there is a large organization and there are a lot of people who need to take part in solving the problem, it is essential that each one of them knows and understands what the issue is, what the steps are that are needed for the resolution and what the final solution will be. By using a problem and solution graphic organizer , you can delegate that knowledge and teach a large number of people the protocol that needs to be followed when solving a problem. The graphic organizer can be presented at a meeting or it can be individually given to each of the involved personnel.

Here are some examples of problem and solution diagrams:

Example 1: Problem and Solution Graphic Organizer

This graphic organizer depicts a simple problem and solution layout. In this example, the problem is shown at the top of the page and it is divided into three sections viz. ‘Who?’, ‘What?’ and ‘Why?’

The benefit of this segregation is that it not only helps the user to define the problem, but it also enables them to describe who the problem pertains to, what the problem actually is and why the problem surfaced. The simple method would be to mention the problem all in one go but dividing them like this gives greater clarity into the matter.

Then comes the ‘Possible Solutions’ section. This is where all possible solutions to the problem are discussed and brainstorming is done. After that, the selected/most suitable solution is delineated in the last section.

Example 2: Weekly Problem and Solution Graphic Organizer

In this example, the layout is a little different. This organizer depicts a problem-solving sheet for five days of a week viz. from Monday to Friday. Each day has three columns in front of it which are for "Rough Work/Drawing", "Sum/Number Sentence" and "Answer" respectively. Instead of focusing on a problem and giving a solution to it (as was the case in the previous example), this organizer features a set of columns and rows designed for students to help with their weekly problem-solving. This is namely an activity sheet for kids rather than an actual problem-solving diagram that can be officially used etc. This template can be useful to accomplish something similar to what it is made for i.e. learning and teaching, but it is not suitable for using to depict a certain problem and its solution.

Example 3: Problem & Solution Graphic Organizer

The Problem & Solution Graphic Organizer features a simple problem-solving structure. In this diagram, three boxes on the left are made for the problems while three boxes adjacent to them are for their respective solutions. This design does not have the sequence where the problem first appears followed by the steps of resolution and then the solution. Here, three problems are simultaneously listed with their solutions written directly beside them without any ‘Possible Solutions’ section or steps for resolution.

This sort of graphic organizer can be useful in circumstances where a multitude of problems have arisen at the same time and need to be dealt with swiftly. In such an instance, listing possible alternatives or steps can be arduous, and simply writing the solutions can be much easier.

Example 4: Problem Solution Graphic Organizer

This example features an unusual layout that can be used for problem-solving. Instead of listing the problem, the steps/possible solutions, and then lastly the solution, this example first mentions the problem and then three 'Goals' in the form of 'Event # 1, 2, and 3'. In the 'Event' spaces, you can put in the outcomes you require or the situations you need to find yourself in after resolving the problem. Hence, you would be enumerating the goals you need to achieve by solving the problem.

After the ‘Goals’, the ‘Resolution’ section is given. In this section, one could write the actual steps or procedure that needs to be followed to meet the above ‘Goals’. This template can be more suitable for intricate issues rather than simple problems that require a one-line solution.

Example 5: Problem and Solution Graphic Organizer Example

In this example, a very practical and useful approach is used. As we saw before, enumeration of possible solutions is useful for brainstorming and selecting the best one of the lot. This example makes it really easy and simple to compare alternative solutions. It first depicts the problem at the start of the page. Then, three choices are listed underneath the problem. For each choice, a ‘Pros/Cons’ list is given. Finally, in the end, there is a 'Solution' section where you can write the choice you selected and why it is the best one.

By listing the pros and cons of each choice, it can be established which route or plan of action is the most suited and beneficial. The choice which has the most pros and least number of cons can be easily selected.

Example 6: Problem and Solution Graphic Organizer PDF

This graphic organizer is labeled 'Compare and Contrast'. In this example, there are two different sets of problems and solutions. Each set starts off with the 'Text', succeeded by the 'Problem' and then the solution.

In each of the sets, the problem can be described along with the suggested solution. Being two, these problems and solutions can be compared with each other. This sort of graphic organizer can be suitable for specific situations which involve the comparison and matching of more than one problem/solution. This template can also be used to match the alternate solutions to a single problem but the problem part in both sections would have to be identical.

Example 7: Problem and Solution Worksheets

The next example on our list is the Problem and Solution Worksheet. The worksheet is an activity for students and is not exactly a template that can be used freely for any other situation, circumstance, or problem. In this worksheet, there are four sections, each of which contains a certain scenario. In each section, the problem is required and then the solution.

This activity is beneficial for teaching children about problem and solution organizers and the basics of problem-solving. Although the scenario in each section has been explicitly mentioned, it is still required of the students to point out which part is the problem and which part is the solution. This improves their identification skills.

Example 8: Problem and Solution Reading Comprehension Worksheet

This worksheet is also a suitable example to include in this list. The purpose of this worksheet is to tell students to find problems or issues in the story’s character and to list those issues along with their possible solutions.

Albeit with specific instruction, this worksheet also falls in the category of problem and solution graphic organizers. There are three different problems that need to be identified. Three solutions need to be given for each respective problem.

This example has a simple layout unlike some of the more complicated ones we have seen on this list. The worksheet simply requires the students to point out the problem and to suggest a solution. No alternatives are explored, nor are any pros and cons mentioned.

Example 9: Story Elements - Problem and Solution worksheet

This worksheet does not fall in the strict category of graphic organizers. This is a class activity that requires the student to match the problems to suitable solutions. In this example, the problems are given on the left hand and the solutions are given on the right. The solutions and problems are written all jumbled up and are not written adjacent to one another.

This sort of worksheet can be a useful tool in teaching kids the concept behind problem-solving. This example can be a stepping stone using which the students can, later on, realize how they have to present a solution to any problem that they face.

3. Online Problem and Solution Graphic Organizer Maker

Now that we have some idea of what these organizers are, let’s get to the part where we actually make one. If you are looking to make an organizer similar to the examples we saw above, simply head over to EdrawMax Online . At EdrawMax Online, there is a large variety of charts, drawings, and diagrams that you can make. The software is totally online, and it has a user-friendly interface. Shapes can be added from the library by simply dragging them over to the desired spot on the canvas. If you don’t want to make a layout from scratch, you can go to the template gallery and pick a pre-made organizer to edit as your own.

4. Key Takeaways

Problem and Solution Graphic Organizers are great tools that you can use for problem-solving. By mentioning the problem at hand, the steps needed for its resolution, and the selected solution, you can come up with a clear and concise representation of a problem-solving process. EdrawMax Online is your go-to place for making diagrams, drawings, and graphic organizers.
