A 7th grade writing teacher would like her students to do an author biography research project that includes an argumentative portion of writing. We have the books in the library to support the author research portion but she's trying to come up with a slant
on it to make it argumentative. She doesn't want them to just regurgitate information about their author. Any ideas?<br>
