Abstract

Every middle school teacher has heard an argument from students as they try to persuade, manipulate, or change the minds of others who do not agree with them. These arguments are often heated and in most cases they are “I win; you lose!” situations. Seldom based on evidence, they typically involve opinions and emotions. This, however, is not argumentation, which is mandated by the Common Core State Standards. Making logical arguments based on substantive claims, sound reasoning, and relevant evidence is a cornerstone of the new writing standards. We discuss a collaborative project that supported students’ argumentative writing in this manuscript.
