Identify Argumentative Essay Goals- Choose Goals, Steps. & Reflect
ELA, Writing, Grade 6, 7, 8, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
Argumentative Essay Writing can be challenging for our middle school students, but there is a solution to make it more accessible. The 17-page, easy-prep, editable lesson plan, Identifying Argumentative Essay Goals- Choose Your Goals and Steps and Then Reflect, personalizes the writing experience for students by giving them the opportunity to choose the goals they want to work on, follow clear action steps, and then reflect on their challenges and successes both before and after writing their essay. The lesson includes opportunities for class and partner discussion. Differentiation is embedded in this lesson. Our ELL, RSP, GATE, and Gen-ed students can choose the goals they want to achieve within six key categories- Claim, Evidence, Reasoning, Counterclaims, Organization, and Conclusion. Each category offers two types of goals and two Foundational Goals (goals to help students achieve proficiency) and Extended Goals (goals for students who are proficient or advanced writers) and two types of action steps. Students choose one goal from each category and then select one action step for that goal. Finally, they put it all together on one chart from which they select two to three goals to work on for their essay. Before writing, students complete a pre-writing reflection, and after their essay is done, they compete a post-writing reflection. The lesson plan includes the following: a hyperlinked Table of Contents About the Resource- a handy guide to everything you need for the lesson at the beginning of the resource An Essential Question: How can setting and reflecting on specific writing goals improve my argumentative essay writing skills? Six Guiding Questions: Why is it important to set specific goals for my writing? How can I identify my strengths and areas for improvement in argumentative essay writing?

This United Nations reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included.

Identify Expository Writing Goals- Choose Goals, Steps, & Then Reflect
ELA, Writing, Grade 6, 7, 8, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
The editable 19-page, differentiated, editable lesson, Identifying Expository Writing Goals- Choose Your Goals and Steps, Then Reflect, helps students become better writers because it makes goal-setting accessible for your students. Because they are given choice in their goal selection, they will be more invested in their writing. The low-prep, standards-based, comprehensive lesson plan guides teachers and students through the process of selecting goals and action steps, followed by a pre-writing and post-writing reflection. The lesson plan is very interactive with opportunities for students to discuss. Your ELL, RSP, GATE, and General Ed students will gain confidence and be positively challenged in their writing because they have their goals as guideposts. Here's how it works: Students choose one goal from each of 6 categories- Introduction, Thesis Statement, Body Paragraphs, Evidence and Analysis, Conclusion, Organization, and Structure. Each category has two Foundational Goals (goals needed to achieve proficiency) and two Extended Goals (goals for more advanced writers). Students get to decide whether the goal they choose is Foundational or Extended based on where their skill level is. After they choose their goal for each category, they then choose one step to take to make progress on their goal. In total, they have identified six goals and steps, but that is probably too many for them to focus on in one essay. So they decide on the two or three most important goals and steps they want to focus on for their essay. The lesson includes the following: a hyperlinked Table of Contents About this Resource- a guide that orients you to everything you need to prepare for your class, including links to the 4 student handouts standards- aligned, detailed lesson plan An essential question: How can setting and reflecting on specific writing goals improve my expository essay writing skills? 6 guiding questions: Why is it important to set specific goals for my writing? How can I identify my strengths and areas for improvement in expository essay writing? What strategies can I use to achieve my writing goals? How does reflecting on my progress help me become a better writer? How can feedback from peers and teachers help me refine my writing goals and strategies? How can setting writing goals make my expository essay more engaging and effective?
