Use these Printable and Digital Task Cards to give your middle school students practice with argumentative essay introductions and conclusions! They are based on two original, included non-fiction texts about crop circles. Engaging and interactive, these cards will save you time!
Students read the two texts and then use these cards to practice with identifying a suitable hook, bridge and thesis for the introduction and restating the thesis, trimming the point, and the call to action for the conclusion.

These cards will give students good practice with argumentative essay introductions and conclusions and I hope it will help them to be better prepared when they write their own essays like it did for my students. :)
