This unit plan is designed to teach 10th grade students how to write a persuasive argument. Over three weeks, students will analyze the short story "Everyday Use" to understand rhetorical devices. They will then debate which character should receive a quilt using logical, emotional, or ethical appeals. Next, students will write their own argument for why a cultural artifact of their choice should be displayed in a museum, receiving feedback from peers. The unit aims to help students learn how to effectively structure and support an argument.
