Assignment:

A essay that evaluates the reasoning of the Supreme Court majority opinion and dissent in the case of Tinker v. Des Moines. You must decide which argument is stronger and support your claim with evidence from the text itself. That evidence can take the form of quotes, facts, summaries, or anything else you can find in the Tinker v. Des Moines case.

Besides making a claim and supporting it with evidence, you should also respond to a counterclaim. Who might disagree with your opinion and why? How might you provide a rebuttal to this person's argument?

Your essay should include the following elements:

• An introduction that presents a claim and hooks the reader
• Relevant evidence that backs up your claim
• Commentary that explains how your evidence is relevant
• A rebuttal to a counterclaim
• A conclusion that reviews your major points

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:

• Have I included an introduction paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion?
• Did I include a hook in my introduction that gets the reader interested in my essay?
• Did I provide multiple types of evidence in my body paragraphs, such as quotes, facts, and concrete details?
• Did I provide commentary in the body that serves as a bridge between my evidence and my claim?
• Did I reply to a reasonable counterclaim and back up my rebuttal with evidence?
• Have I checked for grammar, usage, and punctuation errors?
