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 Writing Argumentative Text:
Overview In this experience, students compose an argumentative text. First they choose a topic and then they develop it through the writing process from prewriting, to drafting, to revising and editing. They apply the characteristics and organizational structure of argumentative texts to their own writing. At the end of the experience, students will self-evaluate their work based on a rubric. You may review the rubric with them at any point during this experience. Objectives Duration
People must often state opinions about topics that others may feel differently about. When you argue your opinion, you must use the most effective arguments you can. In this experience, you will identify and apply the characteristics of an argumentative text. As you move through the writing process you will determine what makes an argument successful and you will apply those strategies to your own writing.
Describe the process you took in order to reach the decision you did.
Lead a discussion about how we make decisions. Some decisions matter more than others, e.g., which colleges to apply to, so one needs to make a more educated choice. Other choices are less important, e.g., what movie to go see, so one can go with gut feelings.
