Lesson 19: Draft an argumentative essay

About this lesson

Students will use the Essay Plan they developed in the last lesson to draft a first draft of an argumentative essay.

  • 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.
