What structural elements make an argumentative text effective? Do Now: Prompt: Look at the title “Campus Protests Are Part of an Enduring Legacy of Civil Disobedience”.

This resource is designed to help students develop skills in predicting the main ideas and tone of argumentative texts based on their titles and structural elements. It outlines essential questions regarding the analysis of titles and effective structural features of argumentative texts, including claims, evidence, appeals (logos, ethos, pathos), and conclusions. The resource also includes guided practice through an annotation guide, text analysis activities, partner discussions, and self-assessment prompts. Vocabulary related to the topic is provided for deeper understanding, and opportunities for independent practice encourage students to confirm their predictions while analyzing the text. Finally, there's a reflection section prompting students to connect and compare the text with other readings on related themes such as civil rights and protests.
