Learning how to craft a compelling argument supported by evidence and logical reasoning is an essential skill. The fifth lesson in "The Story of An Hour" unit asks young scholars to formulate an argument in response to the question, 'Is the ending of "The Story of an Hour" ironic?' Writers use the proven argument frame and evidence from their graphic organizer to present their responses.
