Argumentative Essay Summative Assessment

This assessment was used for my edTPA project, which consisted of five consecutive days of lessons. First, students analyzed and annotated various poems and a scholarly article for important quotes relating to education. Then, students learned how to integrate quotes to support their argument. Finally, students worked on their first draft of an argumentative essay using an essay outline. At the end of the five day lesson segment, students were asked to revise their essays using my comments on their rubric.
