Standard W.9-10.1b significantly increases the expectations of the previous grade. No longer are students asked to simply support their claim or demonstrate an understanding of the topic or text, by the end of tenth grade students now must develop claims and counterclaims fairly. The skilled student will point out the strengths and weaknesses in both sides of an argument and further display proficiency by constructing his/her argument in a way that matches the knowledge level and concerns of the audience. This resource includes strategies for teachers to use when teaching the standard.
