Today's post is brought to you by Bobbi Campbell.
Planning for instruction takes time, so I wanted to develop a
tool that would support coaches and teachers in planning for instruction –
specifically, planning for a shift in teaching and learning from persuasion to
argumentation.
Before I could jump into
resources regarding this shift, I wanted to provide the research supporting
this shift; hence, the reason for the development of this handy dandy resource
in the form of a newsletter/hot-linked document. This document’s purpose is to provide the
research supporting the shift from persuasion to argumentation, as well as to
light a fire under students’ butts to get them excited about digging into text,
while tracing arguments, analyzing the rhetoric and style of some authors, and
eventually towards writing their own fantastic and dynamic arguments.
Who knows, we may create a mutation of
argumentationators (disclaimer:
argumentationators is not really a word, silly.) There are links to
possible focus lessons, vocabulary, and graphic organizers. Knock yourself out and choose the resources
that best match your style, kids, and/or teachers.

My only request is if you
use this resource, please post comments and feedback so I can revise.
