This unit focuses on developing essential argumentative skills while fostering respect and kindness in debates. Through activities like analyzing viewpoints, evaluating claims, and composing arguments, students refine their abilities to engage in logical, evidence-based discussions. They will delve into texts, explore differing perspectives, and strengthen their ability to support claims with sound reasoning and relevant evidence. Engaging assignments such as researching space missions and writing argumentative essays encourage critical thinking and effective communication. Emphasis will be placed on utilizing the ACE strategy, collaborating with peers, and honing both argumentative and analytical skills. ####
