| Summary |
"Finally, mentor texts written by teenagers, to help your students craft convincing arguments. In this new collection of 100 essays curated by The New York Times, students will find mentor texts written by their peers-13-to-18-year-olds-on a wide range of topics, including social media, race, video games, lockdown drills, immigration, tackle football, and the #MeToo movement. All of the essays were either winners or runners-up from New York Times Learning Network 2014-2019 Student Editorial contests, in which students could take on any issue they liked and, in 450 words or fewer, persuade readers-including educators from around the country as well as Times judges-to adopt their point of view. The essays have been selected for their voice, style, and use of evidence, as well as to present snapshot of issues across a dozen categories that are of particular interest to adolescents. Included with every classroom set of the anthology is a companion guide for teachers, Raising Student Voice, that is packed with practical advice from teachers, Times editors, and even student winners about how to use these essays in writing instruction"-- Provided by publisher. |
