Description
This three-passage text set is accompanied by an argumentative prompt regarding a topic in which many of your students will be interested: college sports. It's a great assignment to engage students and help them work on the skill of finding and citing information from the text provided, rather than relying on their own prior knowledge or feelings about the given topic.
Modeled after AIR Testing, which is used in numerous states across the country, it would also fit well into a PARCC simulation. The text set, itself, is 5 pages long.
As with all products sold by A Teacher's Teacher, I take great pride in providing materials in multiple forms. In the case of this item, you will receive the text set and prompt in a ready-to-use format for easy accessibility (.pdf) as well as a file that you can open and edit, to best fit for your own classroom needs (.docx). In addition, I have also provided the option to use a quick-sharing link for Google Docs, in case you use the Google Suite of Apps. All you'll have to do is open the Word or PDF file labeled for Google Docs. There are simple directions provided and the link within the file will require you to "force copy" the document, so you don't have to worry about asking for permission, making a copy of your own, etc.
If you're interested in this argumentative text set and prompt, you might also find that other text sets in my store are of interest to you, including other argumentative text sets on the benefits of homework, the use of cell phones in the classroom, and other topics of student interest. You'll also find informational text sets on a wide-range of topics. I encourage you to check out the cost-savings bundles on text sets available in my store, especially the GROWING BUNDLE that includes all the text sets in my store. That item will occasionally have new text sets added. While the price may increase slightly, those who purchase the bundle will be notified when a new item is added and that item will then be available - at no additional cost - to those who have already purchased the growing bundle. This means now is a great time to purchase to save money and receive great text sets in the future!
