  • A downloadable audio recording of Out of the Dust  is available here.

Additional Notes:

  • There are two versions of the argument sentence organizer handout:
    • Argument sentence organizer handout (blank) is completely blank, and can be used with students who are proficient with writing reason statements, evidence statements, and adding explanation sentences.
    • Argument sentence organizer with model handout contains an example of each type of statement and can be used as a model to support students less familiar with the argument structure.
  • There is a slide in this lesson for each handout. Use your discretion to determine how to implement these slides within the frame of your lesson based on the needs of your students.
