Students will launch the World Cup writing project by analyzing media, maps, quotes, and data to generate researchable expository and argumentative questions, practice distinguishing stronger and weaker evidence, and set up the inquiry habits they will use in later drafting and revision phases.

Students will examine competing World Cup perspectives, test possible positions with early research, draft a one-page claim with supporting and challenging evidence, and use peer feedback to revise the direction of their argument before deeper investigation.

Students will gather and test World Cup evidence from multiple perspectives, evaluate source credibility, organize support and counterevidence in an evidence map, and build a structured argument outline with warrants that prepare them for drafting and revision.

Students will strengthen their World Cup essays through targeted peer critique, citation and organization revision, and evidence-based rehearsal for public defense. They will refine how they use quotations, paraphrases, counterarguments, and reasoning, then prepare polished portfolio pieces and reflection notes for the final showcase phase.

Students will present their polished World Cup writing to an authentic audience, defend their claims with research-based responses, and close the project with a concise reflection on how evidence, organization, and revision shaped their final message.
