Welcome to Read.Inquire.Write.! Our free, downloadable curriculum creates a process to support middle school students' argument writing through reading of sources and analysis of complex social and historical problems. Across investigations, students write increasingly complex forms of argument - from interpretations to critiques to counterarguments - with support from disciplinary literacy tools. Use our investigations and disciplinary literacy tools to support your students in the reading, thinking, and writing process, adapting the investigations to meet the particular needs of students in your classroom. Or, use our literacy tools and Library of Congress sources to structure your own investigations of social studies topics you teach.
