Thank you ! I am just starting my argument unit (ahem.......your argument unit!)

Trying to weave this card "game" into the mix to build on sentence structures:https://thecpdparadox.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/writing-and-desirable-difficulties-how-making-writing-harder-to-learn-makes-students-better-at-it-eventually/

Excited to look at this! My students just read Animal Farm, and now their are writing op-eds (or open letters now that the NYT contest has changed). By the way, one of the open letter winners last year was a student at my school! His name is Alex Klee. Check out his essay! We use it as a mentor now.

Rebekah! Great to "see" you. ;) I would love, love, love, love a copy of your "On Freedom" project. My eighth graders just finished Animal Farm and the idea that they can explore tyranny after being in abject horror of Napoleon's is brilliant. Just purchased the graphic version of On Tyranny. I understand if you can't share, but I'd love, love, love, love it if you could. Thanks for always creating a spark.
