 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * This unit is designed to create a group of writers who can write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence. Students will explore several topics for which they will be asked to create arguments supporting an idea. They will learn how to create effective theses and will come to understand the importance of supporting ideas for arguments. Students will be asked to do several hands-on activities where they will use technology to enhance the "realness" of their writing. By the end of the unit, students will see themselves as writers who are proficient in creating and supporting arguments in both classroom and real-life situations. ||
