Argument
Writing

Assessing What We Already Know

Please take the pre-assessment linked here.  goo.gl/forms/Vbj7wZAK3wpD3Bfr1


Group Practice

 Let's get intellectually oriented by working through the process of writing an argument using the topic of binge-watching. 

First, we will unpack the task of arguing using the content in the slide show on the right.

NOTE:  To view, click on the full screen icon at the bottom of the slide show

Next, we will use the ARGUMENT WRITING RESEARCH TEMPLATE linked below to analyze the article "Binge-Watching - Top 3 Pros and Cons," which is embedded below. 

NOTE:  Hard copies will be provided for you.

Argument Writing Research Notes Template:

Click on the link below to access the "Binge-Watching" article on ProCon.org.  Remember, you will need to access the original source for evidence, which you will find in the footnotes.  From there copy and paste the source in your address bar, and read the source for evidence that supports the claim.  If you need a hard copy of the article or source let your teacher know.
