The Argumentative Essay Rubric and Task-My thoughts and Evaluation for Next Steps

Now that you have done work on the argumentative essay and the corresponding rubric, write a 6-8 sentence reflective/evaluative paragraph in which you address the questions:

Copy of the CCLS Argumentative Rubric

What are the main areas of strength observed in completing the Argumentative essay?

What are the areas of weakenesses observed?

How can we, as a class, continue to address these weaknesses and build on these strengths?

In your response, make a determination as to where you think we need to do more work on this unit.

Your ideas to build the paragraph will come from your reflection on your essay as well as the essays (s) you have assessed for your peers.

As usual, you need to edit your response before posting and then respond to at least two classmates' responses.

Remember the blogging rubric used for assessment!

Happy blogging!
