Lesson 4: Writing Day: First Draft
In this lesson students will review exemplar op-eds, PSAs, and public testimonies and begin the first draft of their final project.
Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; recognize when irrelevant evidence is introduced.
Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences.

Construct arguments using claims and evidence from multiple sources, while acknowledging the strengths and limitations of the arguments.
D4.2.6-8.
Construct explanations using reasoning, correct sequence, examples, and details with relevant information and data, while acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses of the explanations.
