What educators are saying

This resource was spot on for teaching the standards. I specifically loved the sample essay with students identifying the components to argument essays. I found the pacing and suggestions easy to follow and really helped guide students to write well-written essays.
This was exactly what I was looking for to help instruct students on the procedures of argumentative writing.
