Lesson 3.1: Back Up Your Supporting Arguments
by Teaching MattersStudents analyze a mentor text to see the structure of an editorial. They then begin to organize their own editorials by matching evidence to their supporting arguments.
Lesson 3.2: Use Evidence to Persuade Your Audience
by Teaching MattersStudents learn the importance of selecting evidence that will be persuasive to their audience and apply this knowledge to their own pieces of writing. As part of this process, students add to their arguments, as appropriate, and eliminate evidence that does not help them make a convincing case.
Lesson 3.3: Counter the Other Side
by Teaching MattersStudents review their classmates’ responses to Share Your Opinion (from Step 1) as a starting point in determining the “other side’s” position on their topic. Using these data, students identify one argument from the other side that is likely to sway their audience and develop a counterargument supported with evidence.
Lesson 3.4: Use the Computer (Supplementary)
by Teaching MattersThis supplementary lesson is targeted to classrooms in which students are inexperienced in using word processing software. Students learn about good file saving practices in preparation for typing their first drafts. Students learn to upload their typed documents to the Online Classroom.
