Lesson Plan: Persuasive Writing

Given the challenge of making a statement about something they feel strongly about in a newspaper’s opinion page, students will be able to write arguments that support claims they have, including considered counterclaims and connective reasoning, to the effect that they can create a concluding, logical statement in a complete and formal way. This should be measurable through a rubric associated with the standards of CCSS.WS.9-10.1, such that they score at least 21 out of a possible 28 points based on the rubric (IRA/NTC 2013).
