About the store
My name is Mrs. Dean, and this is the Dean's List! I only sell material I have taught in my own classroom, so it has all been tested! In my 15 years of experience teaching ELA, I have grown to love creating my own assignments and lessons. Hope you enjoy!
I have taught inner city high school for the past 15 years, but recently switched over to teach virtually (it's amazing!). My experience spans 9-12 grade and all different subjects/abilities. Over the years I have taught ELL, SPED inclusion classes, behavioral interventionist classes, AP Lang, creative writing, dual enrollment courses, and everything in between.

Counter argument is hard because if not done well, it can make you sound wishy-washy. I've found that the more practice we can get with it, the better they are. This allows them that practice. The worksheet contains: Detailed Activity Instructions Students are given a claim, they must identify a
