Description
This is a simple way for students to practice writing a claim and counterclaim about a given prompt. Students are given questions and must choose a side by writing a claim. Then, the identify the opposing view and write a counterclaim. There is an example completed for them.
This would make a great warm-up, sub plan, or homework assignment after the idea is introduced. It would also be good as a quick review or a partner activity to get students to collaborate and discuss ideas.
I used this product with my 7th grade English class, but it would work well for any class where students are learning to craft an argument.
