Learning to Write Argumentatively

Superhero's Breakdown

NOTES

For each superhero, take notes on:

Superhero's Name
Powers & Weaknesses
Weapons

BATTLE

Now it's time to argue! If your two superhero's were to battle, who would win and why!?

REMEMBER: Argument CANNOT include your opinion. You can only use the facts to support your claim.

Before writing your essay, be sure to create a graphic organizer! :)

Rap Battles

You did it! You learned how to write an argumentative essay! Congratulations!!! Now comes the fun part.

Each student chooses a partner (only do groups of 3 if you have an odd number of student)
Each partnership picks 2 (or 3 if necessary) superheroes that they are going to battle
Each parter will now write a rap arguing that their person will win
Each rap should have
- 2 verses
  - Each partner needs to present their case in each verse.
  - Each partners case should have at least 3 facts and elaborations on why they should win
- 1 Chorus (repeated 2 times)
  - Each partner presents their claim of why their superhero would win
