3. Writing Performance Tasks (WPTs) – Opinion/Argument Writing
The writing performance tasks included here are samples we developed for some of our school districts. They include the teacher directions and the student prompt and directions. (Note: Links to videos may have changed, find a new one!) You can use the generic versions to create your own.
If you would like us to help your district in developing writing prompts or with teaching strategies for writing in the Common Core, please contact us!
