Description
This four-passage text set is accompanied by an argumentative prompt regarding the topic of cell phones in the classroom. It's a perfect assignment to engage typically students of all ability levels due to the interesting topic. It will also strengthen your students experience with the idea of using the text to support their writing, rather than their own personal experiences.
Modeled after AIR Testing, which is used in numerous states across the country, it would also fit well into a PARCC simulation. The text set, itself, is 7 pages long.

In addition, I have also provided the option to use a quick-sharing link for Google Docs, in case you use the Google Suite of Apps. All you'll have to do is open the Word or PDF file labeled for Google Docs, copy the link provided, and paste it into your web browser. From there, follow the directions on the Word document or PDF to save it to your Google Drive.
If you're interested in this argumentative text set you might also be interested in the other text sets I have available in my store (including an informational set on skydiving and an argumentative set on the use of Romeo and Juliet in the curriculum. I invite you to look in my products for the value-priced bundle with both items.

Good activity but i think it needs to be updated to show how damaging newer sites like tik tok and how it affect devloping brain
That’s a great idea. I just thought of another idea, too. Maybe you could assign (or offer extra credit?) for students to do a mini-research to find an article or two with more “current” issues addressed? That could be true of some other text sets, both on my page and otherwise, I’m sure :)
This was a great resource for my middle school students!
Thanks for the feedback. In noticed only 4/5 stars; was there anything specific that could have made it even better?
Useful resource - generates good conversation. Thank you :)
Thanks for the positive feedback! Glad it was helpful!
Useful resource for teaching argumentative writing.
Thank you!
Very helpful!
Thanks for the feedback!
Interesting topic for my students.
Thanks is! Saw this was the second product that you weren’t completely satisfied with (4 out of 5 stars on each). Please let me know how each text set didn’t meet your expectations or standards so I can look at how to make things better moving forward! Thank you in advance :)
Brought about a lot of discussion. Topic created enthusiasm during Argumentative writing unit.
That’s what I found to be the case in my own classroom, as well! Thanks for the feedback!
I have loved and used all the argument text sets! They are brilliant and have saved me a lot of time.
That’s great! I should hopefully have more available soon, and I’ll bundle the newer ones (hopefully three of them) for a great value! Thanks for the feedback!
