The adage, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” is famously attributed to many people, notably Malcolm X, Alexander Hamilton, Peter Marshall, and more.
Having students write argumentative essays goes beyond essential standards and honing writing skills. It also demands that students be critical examiners of an issue, and that’s not easy stuff.
As I begin grading the argumentative essays (which were turned in this past week), I look forward to discovering more about what our students are passionate about. (I kind of got distracted on Friday looking at all the wonderful “outside the box” SSR projects.)
It is my hope to provide timely feedback regarding the essays, and to have the SSR projects graded and returned before break. Thank you for your patience!
