English Language Arts and Literacy | Grade : 11-12

Strand - Reading Informational Text

Cluster - Integration of Knowledge and Ideas

[RI.11-12.8] - Delineate and evaluate the reasoning in seminal historical texts, including the application of constitutional principles and use of legal reasoning (e.g., in U.S. Supreme Court majority opinions and dissents) and the premises, purposes, and arguments in works of public advocacy (e.g., The Federalist, presidential addresses).

Resources:


  • Argument
    Is intended to convince by establishing truth. Most argumentation begins with a claim, then provides supporting logical and/or empirical evidence. Arguments may also include the anticipation and rebuttal of opposing views (counterclaims). (Note that in elementary school, the standards ask that students write opinions, rather than arguments. Opinions define and defend a belief, position, or preference with reasons.)
  • Evaluate
    Judge or determine the significance, worth, or quality of something. See Assess
  • Massachusetts Anchor Standards for Reading
