Literacy Cards: Constructing an argument 'For' and 'Against'

These literacy cards or writing frames are designed to be cut out or used as worksheet to help students write an argument four and against a topic. They are designed to be cut out and kept in envelops or if you prefer they can be printed off as a worksheet. Each card contains a sentence starter appropriate for arguing a case in an extended piece of writing.

When you download this resource, you will be able access a a fully editable 7 page Word document with sentence starters to help students argue a case ‘for’ or ‘against’ in a piece of extended writing. The resource is designed to take them through the various stages of constructing an argument from the introduction to the conclusion. For your convenience, I have also uploaded this file as a PDF.
