Collecting Evidence to Support an Opinion

I have several activities where I want students to state an opinion and then collect evidence that supports their opinion from the texts they read.  I started with The Series of Unfortunate Events with the statement Count Olaf is evil.

Later I created this graphic organizer shown below.  To save copy paper, I can use plastic protectors, or teach students to create this organizer on notebook paper.  Next students can use what they have recorded in paragraph form.
