Writing Connections
The Common Core State Standards call for emphasis on three types 
of writing: narrative, informational and logical argument. Writing that 
presents a logical argument is especially appropriate to discipline-specific 
work since credible evidence differs across content areas. The ability to 
consider multiple perspectives, assess the validity of claims and present 
a point of view is required in argumentative writing. These thinking 
and communication skills are “critical to college and career readiness” 
(Appendix A: p. 24).
