Education
The problem with this is that it separates engagement from rigor, and at EB Academics, we believe that every standard can (and should) be taught with both. Today we share an exciting way to teach students how to write a strong claim and prepare for an evidence-based essay using a mystery picture book. Students absolutely love this lesson, and you will too because your students’ results will blow you away! We can’t wait for you to try this lesson in your own classroom!
