Topeka is designed to be modular so you can build out the learning experience that best meets the needs of you and your students. Select a scope and sequence based on how much time you have to teach argumentative writing and if you have your own curriculum.
Topeka has lessons and teacher resources to support every step of the writing process from pre-writing to revision. In addition to these lessons, assign prompts to get students writing practice. As students complete assignments, each will generate a report that allows you to assess student performance and target the areas where your students need the most support.
If you are incorporating Topeka into your curriculum, focus on getting students writing practice through assigning prompts. Each prompt will generate a report that allows you to assess student performance in each area of the rubric. Use the report to select skills to target and teach Topeka’s revision lessons in small or whole group, or use the relevant lessons from your curriculum.
