Writing into the Day Menu from the College, Career and Community Writers Program (C3WP) is a set of example lesson routines that can be used to deepen and strengthen paragraph writing. While there are numerous resources on the C3WP site, most are designed to work in K-12 systems. The lesson routines offer more flexibility. Take a look at the template for an overview of the lesson routine that involves reading and viewing sources to learn more about an issue, discussion, organizing thoughts and writing. Also included are a set of slides that can be used as mini-lessons to teach learners how to develop the following argument skills and strategies: writing claims, writing commentary, illustrating, using signal phrases, authorizing and countering. One of the most developed examples and a good place to start is Bottled or Tap Water. Once you try this lesson, you can build your own lessons on various topics or adapt some of the example lessons provided. Also a good example is Retire the penny, which contains a link to a video to start the lesson and expert claims already gathered for the lesson.
