MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A PERSON IN 7th GRADE WROTE THIS REVIEW ON WHAT THEY LEARNED IN THEIR GRADE.

Answer 1

Wow, this unit was packed with so much information! I feel really confident about introducing and developing a claim because I now understand how important it is to have a strong argument. It can be challenging to acknowledge an opposing claim because it's hard to admit that there are other valid points of view. One strategy I learned for organizing my reasons and evidence logically is to create an outline before I start writing. To figure out if a source is credible, I can look for information about the author and check if it's from a reliable website. Checking for cohesion in my argument can be tough, but I remind myself to use transitions to connect my ideas. If I'm not sure if my conclusion maintains a formal style, I can ask my teacher or a friend to read it and give me feedback. I need to review the topic of determining relationships among claims, reasons, and evidence because I still find it confusing. I will revisit my previous assessments and see where I made mistakes. I will also create a glossary of keywords and review it every day. I found some argument writing prompts online, and I will practice timing myself to see which part of the process takes the most time. I'm excited to ace this unit test!
