Create an introductory statement that explains the line of argumentation - why someone should choose your particular candy. This statement should introduce the three main claims. Next, arrange the three main claims and the corresponding evidence into a logical order. Finally, the group should come up with a concluding statement that relates back to the introductory statement and sums up the main claims and evidence.
