Revise an Argument after Feedback

Learners turn feedback into a stronger argument. Using a fictional student's draft about a longer lunch period and comments from fictional classmates, they give and use feedback that is kind, specific and helpful, tell big-picture (global) revisions from sentence-level (local) ones, make a revision plan and revise a paragraph, and respond fairly to a counterargument. They write a revised paragraph and a counterargument paragraph.
