Help students practice writing strong arguments using evidence while giving them meaningful student choice.
This middle school ELA differentiated writing project allows students to demonstrate their understanding of argumentative writing through three different response pathways. Each pathway aligns with CCSS W.6.1 and supports students in developing clear claims, organizing ideas, and using relevant evidence.
Students choose one of three differentiated pathways (Option A, B, or C) to demonstrate mastery of the standard in different ways, including traditional essay writing, visual representation, or audience-based argument writing.
