Arguing At Its Best

Help me give my students a book to improve their writing through argument.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Franz's classroom raised $490

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are in a Title I school and these books will help my students not only achieve a qualifying score on the the AP Lang exam, but also give them the skills to be successful outside the classroom. By learning the skills of constructing an effective argument, my students will be able to express themselves and their thoughts in a constructive way. This will allow them to clarify their thoughts, evaluate and make judgements on pieces of evidence and to be considerate of others opinions which in turn will make them productive citizens.
