Students Love to Argue, So Let Them!
Teachers, Grades 6-12
By the end of high school, standards indicate that students should be able to effectively write and speak arguments to support claims with clear reason and relevant evidence. They’re also expected to recognize and evaluate the written and oral claims of others. This lively, interactive session will provide many examples and tools that teachers can use to teach students argument development and evaluation.
