The exercises in this set aren't about how to use the planner, but rather what we can learn from it - things to help us with writing we do at school or in the office, whether or not we're using Rationale.

We learn 3 main lessons from the essay planner:

• Order your ideas logically to make your argument clear to others

• Use signposting to tell your reader where you're going

• Use indicator words to flag whether claims are positions, reasons, or objections

We'll learn more about each of these over this set of exercises.
