argument-structure-scaffold-generator

What problem does it solve?

Students often struggle to structure arguments coherently, making it hard to demonstrate clear reasoning across disciplines. This Skill provides discipline-aware scaffolds that reveal the function of each section, helping learners connect claims, evidence, and reasoning while accommodating different frameworks (Toulmin, PEEL, CER) and varying student abilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Discipline-aware scaffolds that adapt to Toulmin, PEEL, or CER frameworks, with sections labeled by explicit rhetorical function.
• Sentence starters and guided prompts that teach evidence selection, explanation, and linkages to the claim, not just generic transitions.
• Annotated model demonstrations showing the scaffold in use for realistic student-level responses.
• Differentiation options for mixed-ability classes, including simplified versions for younger students and extensions for stronger writers.

Quick Start

Provide the argument topic, student level, and scaffold type to generate a discipline-aware argument scaffold.
