How do you think stereotypes might play a role in some interpersonal conflicts?

Explanation:

Our mini-grant offers a solution to a problem we voiced in our discussions at the

last Institute: teaching the informational essay for the TASC exam is much more

of a challenge for us than teaching the argumentative essay. We identified two

reasons for this:

• Lack of practice essays. Most of the testing preparation books focus more

on the argumentative essay.

• Lack of a “one size fits all” template or outline for the essays. In our

experience, this essay cannot be easily formatted in a pro/con/my opinion

organizational structure like the argumentative style. It depends on a close

reading of the prompt to determine what the writer’s “job” is. This job

differs from prompt to prompt.

We created a bank of 8 text-based, practice informational essays to use in the HSE

classroom on the following topics:

The Harms of Television Global Warming

The Great Depression Concerns Regarding Green Energy

Fixed vs. Growth Mindset Dangers of Supplements and Miracle Cures

The Heroin Epidemic Civil Rights Movements: Then and Now

In addition to these 8 essays you will find corresponding extension activities which

include the following:

• Embedded skills-based activities to reinforce the teaching of grammar,

mechanics, and usage. We focused on TASC identified high-medium

emphasis writing skills like sentence combining, items in a series,

parallelism and the use of the colon and semi-colon.

• Activities to reinforce important reading skills such as building vocabulary

and reading visual information, and writing skills such as paraphrasing.

• Graphic organizers and templates that we created with our students. These

assist in reading with purpose and planning the essay.

This is a work in progress, one that we plan to build upon, edit, and change based

on feedback from colleagues and students.
