Reinforcing Evidence-Based Argumentative Writing
Reinforcing Evidence-Based Argumentative Writing In The Social Studies Classroom
The use of credible evidence when writing arguments is central to the Social Studies discipline. It is a stepping-stone toward connecting our divided world with its ability to foster constructive discourse. This project supported and examined 24 ninth and tenth grade American Government students at Catonsville High School and their ability to write strong responses to open-ended questions. The students were graded on their ability to develop a claim and cite evidence from more than one source that would support the validity of their claim.
