Check understanding

  • Write an argument essay with a clear claim supported by at least three pieces of evidence
  • Acknowledge and respond to a counterclaim rather than ignoring opposing views
  • Use linking words and phrases (however, furthermore, consequently) to connect claims, reasons, and evidence
“If your child wants to convince you to let them stay up later, can they write down clear reasons and examples to support their case rather than just saying "because I want to"?”
