What educators are saying

This was such a great unit to use with my direct service English 3 students! Very organized, thorough, and helped my students stay on track with a lengthier writing assignment, which speaks volumes considering writing is like another form of torture for them - ha! Thank you for a great resource!
Loved every bit of this resource. The PowerPoint and graphic organizers were very helpful. I especially liked the pre-made outline.

What fellow teachers are saying.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

I love this resource, especially the attention given to writing the thesis and the counterargument. The grading rubric is also exactly what I needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

The graphic organizer and the rubrics were super helpful! My students were able to easily organize and draft their argumentative essays about Bionic Eyes in an easy step-by-step process. The Thesis Statement graphic organizer and How to Address the Counterclaim were a breeze to teach this year because of this resource! I had my students put everything into their interactive notebook as a resource to use next year!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

I truly appreciate how this unit goes into the differences between argumentative writing and persuasive writing. Students need that differentiation. Great unit!
