Arguments are made using the written word.
Arguments may also be spoken, performed, sculpted, and painted.
Arguments take many forms, and we use many different modalities to make them.
Today’s lesson will invite you to use the evidence you’ve gathered and the claim you’ve made to create a powerful argument that calls your audience to act.
You’ve finished this lesson and this entire unit when:
- You’ve used the evidence you’ve gathered from your research to create a claim.
- You’ve planned your argument using what you’ve learned by studying the mentor texts produced by other writers.
- You’ve considered structure and multimodal options for expression.
- You’ve created your first draft or prototype.
