The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Reading Argumentative Text:
Overview In this experience, students learn the elements of an argumentative text, including the types of evidence an author can use as support. They also explore the connection between knowing a text’s audience and reading argumentative text. Next, they read an argumentative passage and explain the audience, claim, reasons, evidence, and counterargument. Finally, they consider whether the argument in the passage they read is convincing. Objectives Duration One or two class periods. Vocabulary Words Used in “Navy Marine Mammal Program”
We all have opinions and many of us like to share them—sometimes in writing! In this experience, you will learn more about what argumentative writing includes and what makes it most effective.
Objectives
Think about the last advertisement you saw. Did the commercial make you want to buy the item being advertised? Why or why not? Explain what made the advertisement successful or not.
Invite volunteers to share their ad and their thinking. Use this as a springboard to discuss what makes an author’s argument successful. Encourage students to share the different techniques used by advertisers—powerful language, attractive images, compelling arguments, etc.
