Grade 9
Students will continue working on argumentative writing this week. Last week, students learned about claims, evidence, warrants, backing, and counter arguments. This week will be all about practicing and strengthening those elements in their writing. Argumentation is a skill that will follow them all the way through college and beyond, so it is important for them to master the basic components.
