Argument Writing

Writing arguments in Grade 8 means introducing claims, acknowledging and distinguishing the claims from alternate or opposing claims, and organizing the reasons and evidence logically. It also means supporting the claims with logical reasoning and relevant evidence, using accurate, credible sources and demonstrating an understanding of the topic or text, using words, phrases, and clauses to create cohesion and clarify the relationships among your claims, counterclaims, reasons, and evidence, establishing and maintaining a formal style, and providing a concluding statement or section that follows from and supports the argument you presented.
