The Argumentative Essay on the AP Spanish Language and Culture® exam is arguably one of the most challenging parts! Students need a guided way to reflect on their argumentative essay writing and improve it. I needed a way to differentiate instruction and streamline feedback. I created a step-by-step organizer that is digital and printable, so it can be used with Distance Learning or when you have students in person.

This graphic organizer independent work is perfect to assign after students have written one essay for a grade or for feedback and are getting ready to write another one. It takes students through a series of steps asking them to reflect on their past work and the feedback it received. It asks them to review the rules and requirements of the argumentative essay, and it asks them to write certain parts of 2 practice essays. These smaller parts are sections of the essay that, when done well, set the student up for success with the rest of the essay. These small parts will be turned in for feedback from the teacher.

All parts of this product can be changed or customized to meet your students' individual needs!
