The problem of research:
How to develop the skill of writing a detailed written answer for 11th grade students
How to learn to extract the necessary information from various sources of 11th grade students
What techniques and strategies will be most effective for the development of this skill.
The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that students do not know how to give high-quality arguments when making both oral and written answers.
Tasks:
To study the work of researchers dealing with similar problems;
To study methodological literature, Internet resources on this problem;
Select techniques and strategies through which students can collect the necessary information;
Use selected forms of work in the lessons.

Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools conduct an external summative assessment of students' knowledge in accordance with the norms and requirements of international standards A-level, AS-level and IGCSE.
The assessment of the subject "Russian as a second language" in the 11th grade corresponds to the international IGCSE level. External summative assessment is aimed at the systematic evaluation of student learning outcomes. When conducting any form of assessment, it is determined what students know, are able to do and what difficulties they may face. Summative work evaluates students' academic achievements at the end of the study period.
Students often cite an insufficient number of arguments that do not fully correspond to the task.
Therefore, I decided to conduct a study on the topic "How to improve the ability of 11th grade students to write an argumentative essay." Before starting the study, I analyzed the students' work on various written papers, conducted a survey among students who find it difficult to find arguments for a detailed answer.
The Russian language curriculum identifies groups of goals for the development of writing skills. Among the goals of teaching writing, one can single out those whose achievement caused difficulties among 11th grade students. For example, P6. write detailed essays on a given topic, revealing it deeply and convincingly; observe semantic integrity, coherence and consistency of presentation.
The role of reasoned thought was first discussed at the University of Edinburgh in the XVIII century . By Scottish scientists (98; 109), who called for considering rhetoric as the study of one's own thought.
The study was conducted according to the following plan:
- identification of the problem, formulation of the research topic;
- study of literature, search for material on this research topic; -selection of methods, forms of research;
- registration of interim results;
- continuation of the study;
- registration of the results of the study.
The tasks for the development of a reasoned essay were aimed at understanding continuous and discontinuous texts, the formation of skills and abilities in constructing a detailed essay based on various texts.
Method
In this research paper I want to show three forms of work of writing an essay with my comments. The first essay on the topic "Inequality in modern society is the engine of progress. How much do you agree with this opinion?" When writing the essay, she gave the students speech cliches that are used in each part: Introduction: This problem is very relevant in our current reality, in the modern world, for our country and the entire world community, for our family… The main part: The author sees the problem this way… Scientists are of the opinion… Conclusion: In conclusion, we can conclude that… She also advised using a sentence construction scheme: "I believe that ... since. I think this situation can be assessed as... In my opinion... " Comments: The student reveals simple ideas; gives only a quote as an example; the work contains false information. The structure of the essay can be traced, but the arguments are poorly developed, the student does not explain his point of view. It is recommended to give coherent and consistent arguments, use concrete examples from life, books, broadcasts, statistics to reveal the chosen topic. The second essay on the topic "How, in your opinion, has the international image of Kazakhstan changed in recent years and why?" At this stage of the work, I invited students to read texts on this topic and extract arguments. The students carefully read the text and chose the sentences containing the answers to the question. We used the knowledge obtained from the text as our own arguments. They also expressed personal opinions. Comments: The answer contains a sufficient number of relevant examples; the essay is well organized; the student clearly expresses his point of view. In his work, he demonstrates the ability to argue, but the ideas are not sufficiently developed The third essay on the topic "In the modern world, cinema is replacing the book. Do you agree with this statement?" the students wrote without any help. When the students wrote, I asked them to check: Is everything written clearly? Do you have the main argument? Are all the words used correctly? Do you have facts and examples supporting the main argument? Are your ideas presented clearly and consistently? Comments: The paper reveals both simple and complex ideas, for example; the arguments are logically coherent and consistent, illustrated with examples. The essay is clearly structured.
Expected Outcomes
Feedback analysis shows that students are interested in developing written literacy, understand the importance of having the skills of a reasoned essay. The most important evidence was the data of formative and summative assessment of students' achievements in the development of writing skills. According to the students' scores, we can tell about the success and effectiveness of the work done. In the course of the research, ways to solve the problem were outlined: - A comprehensive approach to solving the problem of improving the ability of students to write argumentative essays in all subjects. - Consistent development of writing skills, the ability to distinguish the main and secondary, to differentiate the known and unknown in the text. Using approaches in lessons skill of extracting information as arguments. Students are invited, depending on the topic, on a specific task, to extract information from the following sources: - from internet sources - from incomplete texts - use of "talking" walls Thus, the stage of collection, analysis and systematization of research data was carried out. As practice shows, students simply need a strict algorithm of actions when solving tasks: 1. Formulation of the problem of the source text. 2. Comment on the formulated problem of the source text. 3. Reflection of the position of the author of the source text. 4. The student's own opinion, arguments. The analysis of the trial exam paper shows that most of the students still need to develop this skill. Using the same techniques and techniques works differently in different lessons. Therefore, it is necessary to use various sources to extract information. The work done is only the beginning of a long journey, research in this direction continues, methods and techniques for developing the skill of extracting the necessary information as arguments for a detailed answer will expand.
