Argumentative Letter on a Candidate or Mandatory Voting
Social Studies, ELA, Government, History, History: USA, Writing, Grade 7, 8, 9, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
The low-prep, 27-page resource, Argumentative Letter on a Candidate or Mandatory Voting has your middle and high school students take a position on either which presidential candidate to support or whether voting should be mandatory in the United States, write a 4-paragraph argumentative letter to the editor, and then send them off to online sites that accept letters to the editors, such as local, state, or national news sites. I have included links to four online articles that address the pros and cons of making voting mandatory in the United States that the students can use for their research. If your students choose to do the candidate letter, this lesson works best if students have done my lesson, Where the Candidates Stand on the Issues or something similar to that. This lesson doesn’t specifically teach how to write an argumentative essay. It builds on what students already know, assuming they have already written argumentative essays. Embedded in this lesson are a brainstorming activity for evidence and analysis, a template for writing the essay, a graphic organizer all of which provide scaffolded support to your diverse range of writers, and a rubric.
