I teach 8th grade language arts and have a huge opportunity to collaborate with the 8th grade social studies teacher. Eighth graders study Alexander Hamilton's argument about taxes, which we could look at from a persuasive standpoint in my classroom. As a connection to today's society, we might also look at current tax practices and read some informational texts. I doubt most students are familiar with the taxes they will eventually pay as members of the workforce (or even currently pay as consumers). I think it would be interesting to hear them debate reasons for and against, and could lead to interesting conversations for them to have with their parents and report back about.
