Toulmin Argument Model: claim, data, warrant/backing, counter-claim/rebuttal
This slightly revised model of rational argument adds a backbone of the scientific method and also replaces Qualifier with Counter-Claim (per Purdue OWL). Slow-animated GIF highlights/describes argument parts and how they work together to persuade a critical thinker. You can test your argument essay against these standards of rational persuasion or use the model to design/outline a powerfully persuasive essay (persuasive at least for critical thinkers).

Royal Plagiarism I: Melania Trump “borrows” from Michelle Obama
Animated GIF shows that corresponding parts of their convention speeches are nearly identical. Slowly successive frames highlight the similar words and phrases, showing both direct and mosaic plagiarism. Melania’s speech writer was careless in keeping track whose words were whose, so the lesson here is to be very careful about who said what and that academic integrity demands respect for the words and ideas of others, not just by using them but also by giving credit where it’s due. Thank you, Me

Easy Poetry Activity: Music Mashup Poem
This is a fun activity to incorporate into any poetry or creative writing unit. My student (even the ones who bemoan poetry) love this as it allows them to incorporate a piece of their world: music.
This assignment can be easily adapted to fit your classroom or unit! Just show the prezi, and let your students go. I was amazed how many students really got into this assignment. For so many of my students music is their life, or so they say, and this allowed them to share some of their passion w

Includes examples of NEEDY writing (unclear because important words or ideas are missing), WEEDY writing (with unnecessary and distracting words), and PITHY-THRIFTY writing (says all the important stuff without any fluff).

The Curse of Knowledge: How writers betray (but can also help) their readers
Writers falsely assume that readers share an identical understanding and that just giving readers all the argument pieces will persuade them. Cognitive biases can fool the writer, but remedies exist to help writers break the curse and really reach their readers by avoiding jargon, by giving examples and explanations, and by chunking and super-chunking the information in bite-sized thoughts, etc.This animated GIF includes the academic explanation as well as a cartoon example.

Elements of Good Writing
This 27-page Prezi uses a free Prezi template to introduce the concepts behind good writing. It evaluates writing essays, creative writing, and the writing process, but the content is very basic and direct, so it would probably take fifteen to twenty minutes to present in its entirety (possibly thirty minutes if you need to explain the concepts in more detail).
This Prezi can be used to introduce the concepts or quickly remind students of the basic elements of good writing. I usually use it as
