Thank you so much. Some topics I've assigned for this are for students to identify three reasons why it was difficult for authorities to identify Christopher McCandless' body from Into the Wild. For rhetorical analysis, I have students state whether an author produced an effective argument and why. This method of grading can be used with any writing that requires students to cite textual evidence.

Can you start me out by giving me some of the topics you've assigned in the past that seemed to give them enough to work with? I have 7th grade GT English students so it's not like they don't have plenty to say but they need to work on harnessing all of those thoughts.
