3 Argumentative Text Set Bundle - Homework, Cell Phones, and Social Media

Before purchasing this bundle, consider purchasing the Text Set MEGA BUNDLE from my store. For a little more, you get more than 3 times as many text sets, including informational sets. It includes every text set currently sold in my store. Even better, you will have access to future text sets that are added to the MEGA BUNDLE later on, at no additional cost to you. Let me know if you have any questions!

Three great argumentative text sets in one great discounted bundle! With an emphasis on preparing students for state testing and performance tasks that have become a norm in formats such as AIR and PARCC, all three of these argumentative text sets provide multiple sources (3 or 4 each) with a task formatted to be much like what your students will see on their real state assessments! Descriptions from each individual item that makes up the set are provided below:

Argumentative Text Set - Does Homework Help You Learn?

This four-passage text set is accompanied by an argumentative prompt regarding the topic of the relationship between homework and student learning. It's a perfect assignment to engage students, as most students will have a personal opinion going into the assignment. On that note, it will also strengthen your students experience with the idea of using the text to support their writing, rather than their own personal experiences.

Modeled after AIR Testing, which is used in numerous states across the country, it would also fit well into a PARCC simulation. The text set, itself, is 5 pages long.

As with all products sold by A Teacher's Teacher, I take great pride in providing materials in multiple forms. In the case of this item, you will receive the text set and prompt in a ready-to-use format for easy accessibility (.pdf) as well as a file that you can open and edit, to best fit for your own classroom needs (.docx). In addition, I have also provided the option to use a quick-sharing link for Google Docs, in case you use the Google Suite of Apps. All you'll have to do is open the Word or PDF file labeled for Google Docs, copy the link provided, and paste it into your web browser. From there, follow the directions on the Word document or PDF to save it to your Google Drive.
