Curipod Quick Writes are TEKS and CCSS aligned. 🌟Social Media Control Bureau - Argumentative Quick Write Students are campaigning for Commissioner of the Social Media Control Bureau. Students will reflect on common issues related with use of social media, then suggest solutions and compromises, in the form of a debate speech, to meet the needs of both adults and youth. Students will receive a gamified response determining if they won the election-- or if they went viral, in a bad way. 🦸 Learning Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to analyze short texts and create a short argumentative paragraph using evidence to support their claims. ⏳ Estimated time: 20 minutes 🎯 Feedback: Students receive feedback aligned with the Curipod Argumentative Quick Write Rubric. 🛠 To Customize your Lesson: 1.
