An effective argument has many parts - including clear, well-supported claims, the use of credible evidence, the rebuttal of counterclaims, and a strong conclusion. Created to support Common Core State Standards for reading and writing argumentative texts, this informative and interesting series introduces the craft of argument writing to readers. Each book takes the reader through the parts of an argument, illustrating each concept using relatable examples, and allows readers to use what they have learned to evaluate the strength and credibility of arguments about a variety of issues, from homework requirements and school sports spending to robots in the workforce and healthy food choices. Includes Teacher's Guide.
