Authors Argument Digital Task Cards for BOOM

A critical skill in comprehending nonfiction text is being able to identify an author's central argument, opinion, or point of view and evaluate the claims he or she makes. But first, most students benefit from practice simply identifying the author's main argument.

Engage your middle school students using digital task cards and give them practice identifying the author's argument with these 20 sports themed passages.
