February 4 & 6

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Today in class we will begin working on an Argumentative Writing Assignment with population.

To start open the Argumentative Writing Worksheet and make a copy.
Argumentative Writing Worksheet
Title it P(2 or 6)_first and last name_Argumentative Writing Population

For your Peer edits, you need to share with your 3 o'clock partner for #4 and your 9 o'clock partner for #5.  While peer editing make sure you use the "Suggest" feature for any changes you make.  While writing your second and third (final) drafts be sure you make changes based on the suggestions of your peers.

Follow the directions carefully in order to accurately complete the assignment.  We will be going over the directions in class today and you will have time to work & finish it on Friday.  I will not be in class on Friday so I am expecting that you follow all directions from the substitute and work diligently on completing this assignment.  If you finish early you may work on your Europe Map Packet

This is a graphic organizer that may assist you in understanding the Toulmin Method of Argumentative writing.
