Description
This argumentative writing download contains a presentation, editable lesson plans with a RAFT activity, logical fallacies list, and a note taking sheet. This argumentative writing activity takes approximately two class periods, but you will use the material throughout student writing process.
Overview of this argumentative activity download:
√ The writing presentation has over twenty slides to present argumentative writing expectations, guidelines, and directions for high school students. This is an editable Powerpoint; please edit the language or slides to differentiate for each class. Topics to front-load include: claims, counterclaims, support, transitions, tone, primary source, secondary source, and MLA.
√ The note sheet allows students to write definitions for later consultation.
√ The editable lesson plan contains a RAFT activity with various links and an assignment.
√ An editable document with 15 logical fallacies for students to avoid in their writing.
Topics covered in this argumentative writing activity:
→ Definitions: claims, counterclaims, evidence, tone, etc.
→ Expectations: transitions, paper format, and such.
→ Application: when do students use arguments, how can they best present their arguments, how can they use primary and ethical sources.
15 Logical Fallacies (example for each included):
√ Ad Hominem
√ Appeal to Authority
√ Appeal to Ignorance
√ Appeal to Tradition
√ Bandwagon
√ Burden of Proof
√ Circular Argument
√ Double-Speak/Equivocation
√ False Analogy

√ False Dichotomy/Either-Or
√ Hasty Generalization

Included are teacher suggestions (in the speaker notes). I left the presentation, logical fallacies list, and lesson plan editable because I know teachers use different terms when covering argumentative writing.
This writing download is the perfect addition to your argumentative writing unit.
