Fun way to analyze an argumentative essay
This product is an excellent resource for having your students examine a strong piece of argumentative writing. Providing students with writing models is key to helping them develop as writers. To begin, have the students read the sample essay and underline the author's claim and any supporting evidence. I had the kids do this individually, then I had them confer with a partner to compare before we discussed the essay as a class. Use the whole class discussion to make sure that all of your s

The Holocaust: Creating a Museum At Your School
Each spring, my seventh graders turned our school library in our rural, isolated town into their own “museum” filled with exhibits that displayed what they had learned in their research of the Holocaust. Popular with students, faculty, and parents, participation in this project became a rite of passage at our junior high. We started small the first year, but by the third year, our librarian kept the “Museum” open two evenings so that more people from the community could experience it. This was a

This worksheet is one that I give my students to complete after/during reading of the article "What is Poverty" by Jo Goodwin Parker. This article is available online for free and is INCREDIBLE. It makes my students cry every year we do it because it is so tragic and real.

This document is designed to help students gather notes to prepare for a class debate. It includes boxes for students to write three claims, two pieces of evidence for those claims, and a warrant (proving how the evidence supports the claim).
On the back, the students think about the counterclaims for their claims and write them down. Then they find research to go against their opponents counterclaims.
This was a useful tool when starting out a debate unit. Enjoy!
