New Writing Course: Argument Writing for High School


Argument Writing for High School was released on August 3, 2015, along with 3 other new Writing Courses from Pepper.

This course focuses on teaching high school students to write persuasive arguments. Participants will learn to deconstruct, analyze, research, and write an argument essay that meets standards and expectations for high school (grades 9–12).

Teachers will also be taken through all stages of the writing process, from learning the elements of an argument writing essay to analyzing sample texts, choosing fruitful topics, completing writing activities, considering their audience, gathering research, revising and editing their work. All of these stages are designed to help participants formulate their own strategies for teaching argument essay writing. A template is provided that walks users through exploring a potential topic for writing and helps them evaluate if this is a topic they want to pursue. Click image to enlarge view:


The course requires 6 hours of work online with an additional 4 hours offline. You can get more information and a full course outline by clicking here.

These courses were authored by content experts from Accelerated Literacy Learning.
