Here are the artifacts to go along with my project. Enjoy!
Here also is the writing assignment to go along with my lesson plan.
Writing Assignment #9 for Ninth Grade English
Topic: Using your concept map on whether young love is good or bad, write a persuasive essay on how you feel about young love. Is it a good thing that should be accepted by society or is it a detrimental thing that should be fought against? Make sure to address and counter the opposing side in your essay. Also make sure to use plenty of supporting details to back up your opinion. Why do you feel the way you feel and how can you convince others to think the same way that you do? If you’re struggling with deciding whether or not you support the idea of young love, consider making a pro and con list and working from there.
