Lesson description

You’re on a quest to find hidden treasure—when suddenly a monster appears! Can you choose the right spell to defeat the monster? Only those with keen claim, evidence, and reasoning skills will succeed. Based on the monster’s strengths and weaknesses, students must choose from 3 spells to defeat it. Students make their choice and support it with evidence and reasoning. If they succeed, they get the treasure; if they don’t . . . Use this story-based writing activity to practice writing short argumentative responses with a claim, evidence, and reasoning. To customize the lesson, type in a monster and select your grade level, then let the quest begin!
