CCSS are Broken Down into categories…• Speaking and Listening
• Reading Literature
• Reading Foundational Skills
• Reading Information Text
• Writing
• Language
www.corestandards.org/about-the-standards
…and these categories are interrelated.

1. Expanded focus on Expository (information) text2. Teachers of history, science and technology literacies must think about the 10
components of the Writing Strand within their academic discipline.3. Collaboration among professionals is a necessity. Process not content only is
a focus.4. Grades 6-12 use similar terms in the CCSS but complexity from grade to grade
is the difference.5. All elements of the Writing Standards are contained within the Speaking and
Listening Standards. Speaking about and discussing narrative, expository and opinion/argument is necessary.

![Page 15: Talking about Writing an Argument Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58ef2e351a28ab1d448b46d9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The purpose of argument:
•To change the readers’ point of view through logic
•To bring about some action on the part of the reader
•To convince the reader to accept the explanation or evaluation of a concept, issue or problem

“They’re so much cooler that way” is Calvin’s opinion. As a six-year-old, his version of a “debate” or “argument” is really an opinion.
![Page 18: Talking about Writing an Argument Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58ef2e351a28ab1d448b46d9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
No one would analyze Calvin and Hobbes like a Speech Language Pathologist would…;)

• In life, all humans have likes and dislikes. (See our SGM® Character Map). These give rise to opinions. Think about Vanilla/Chocolate, McDonald’s/Burger King, Buying/Renting, or Democrat/Republican! Everybody has an opinion about something.
• Opinions are thoughts we have about things, people’s behavior, ideas or situations that we like or dislike and agree or disagree within our lives.
Let’s start from the beginning:From the Character Map to Argument - The Process!
![Page 21: Talking about Writing an Argument Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58ef2e351a28ab1d448b46d9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Opinions ( as in The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown) may be stated. “The important thing about a daisy is that it is white.” Other things about daisies are listed here, as descriptive elements, but the author has chosen one to be the “important thing” (IHO).
• Opinions may be backed by listing reasons: I like daisies. Daisies are yellow in the middle. Yellow makes me feel happy.
• Opinions, supported by listed reasons, are written using more advanced syntax incorporating cohesive ties: I like daisies because daisies are yellow in the middle and that makes me feel joyful.

Perspective Taking with the Critical Thinking Triangle®
“We must be able to stand in the shoes of other, see the world through their eyes, empathize with what they are feeling, and attempt to think and react to the world in the same way that
they think and react to the world.”-Moskowitz, Lehigh University, Social Cognition 2005
Please note: Children with social cognition and social communication problems have difficulty taking perspective and therefore will have difficulty formulating an argument. One of the uses of the Critical Thinking Triangle® is to help children to visualize different perspectives in literature, history and social situations.
![Page 23: Talking about Writing an Argument Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062902/58ef2e351a28ab1d448b46d9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Another person (or people) may have an opinion that is different from your opinion. This is their “point of view” or perspective. Perspective-taking is the ability to see a point of view in addition to one’s own.
Look at the photo to the right…
•What do you see?
•What is the point of view of the couple?
•What might another perspective reveal?

In the late 1880’s it was clear that the residents of Boston would shortly not have enough water for their homes and businesses. The city was growing rapidly and their water supply from their current reservoirs was not enough. The legislature believed it would be best to flood the Swift River Valley to make a reservoir to provide water for the people of Boston. However, 2400 people lived in the valley who did not believe they should have to move. The Legislature had to convince them to sell their property for the “greater good” of the people of Boston. They explained to the residents that Boston did not have enough water. They argued that the 750,000 people of Boston contributed greatly to the economy. While they agreed that 2400 people lived in the valley would be affected, that was a small number of people compared to the Boston population. In addition, they would be paid for their homes and property. So while 2400 people would have to move, the legislature voted to flood the valley. By the year 1938, the towns had been flooded and the Quabbin Reservoir was created. The people of Boston were happy at the expense of the residents of the Swift River Valley.
