In this Unit, we will focus on argumentative writing. Before we dive in, it's important that you are able to recognize key similarities and differences between expository and argumentative writing (watch video on differences). Avoid the obvious statements like, "both have words; both are types of writing". Focus on their purposes, audiences, organization and the key elements they include. Create a Venn Diagram to compare/contrast on the next page of your composition book. We will do this individually and then discuss in small groups before discussing as a class.
