November 2015 Writing Workshop Unit



This unit focuses on teaching students to craft arguments based on research. In this writing unit, students will learn to develop an argument and support it with multiple resources. This unit aims to give fifth graders additional practice producing texts that are written as arguments. Students will be reading collections of texts on a topic. This work with text sets will provide an opportunity for students to come to see that different authors who all write about a particular topic often do so by providing different opinions. Students will learn to develop an opinion based on their topics, select evidence that supports their opinion, and show how their supports relate to their opinion.
