Instructional Ideas
  • Project a sample argument on a different topic and have class members use the rubric to assess the piece
Classroom Considerations
  • The focus of the one-unit module is on helping writers develop the skills they need to develop well-crafted arguments supported by solid evidence
  • The 14th in a 28-lesson unit designed to directly address Common Core reading and writing standards for grade 9
  • The unit uses Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos' Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science as a central text
Pros
  • The 15-page packet includes a detailed plan, a template for the Argument Outline Tool, a key for the tool, and a rubric for the assignment
Cons
  • The time frame is unrealistic; have class members complete their Argument Outline Tool as homework
