⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

I love this resource, especially the attention given to writing the thesis and the counterargument. The grading rubric is also exactly what I needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

The graphic organizer and the rubrics were super helpful! My students were able to easily organize and draft their argumentative essays about Bionic Eyes in an easy step-by-step process. The Thesis Statement graphic organizer and How to Address the Counterclaim were a breeze to teach this year because of this resource! I had my students put everything into their interactive notebook as a resource to use next year!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely satisfied

I truly appreciate how this unit goes into the differences between argumentative writing and persuasive writing. Students need that differentiation. Great unit!
