Talking strips can be used for oral language activities and as a writing frame.

Once the students know each box on the talking strip, they can begin to compose simple arguments. Display a topic and generate a list of possible arguments then model composing sentences as needed.

Students can then work in pairs and compose arguments using the prompts.

The sentence starters can be used as a scaffold for writing.
