| What do I already know about argument writing? |
Standard:
| W.2.a Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. (CCSS:W.6.1) RR.1.c.iv Apply grade 6 Reading standards to literary nonfiction (e.g., “Trace and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, distinguishing claims in a text, distinguishing claims that are supported by reasons and evidence from claims that are not.”). (CCSS:W.6.8b) |
I will know I’m successful when...
| I have developed an understanding of vocabulary terms that are relevant to argument writing. |
Mini-Lesson:
(What Mrs. Brownell is going to teach us) | Understanding the academic vocabulary for reading about and writing arguments. |
