Writing an Autobiography
This resource will help your students understand autobiographies and will help them write one. I like to start this lesson by having students read an autobiography written by someone that we are learning about in class already. Maybe a scientist, an author, or famous mathematician. This helps them to understand what an autobiography is and how they can write one. This can be modified into a biography too where students use the About Me questions to interview one of their classmate or family memb

Argument Writing Graphic Organizer: CREED, Scaffolds, and More
When students are given the freedom to choose a topic to analyze or argue, they are virtually always more successful. That is how this resource begins: students choose from a list of current controversial issues (or decide their own with teacher approval), and then enter the intricate process of argument. An acronym I've created, CREED, propels the students forward: Claim, Reasons, Evidence, Explain (relevance and importance), Discuss (counter-claim and rebuttal).
