News articles for writing practice: rhetorical analysis and arguments

Hi all,

I'm tutoring a high school sophomore to practice writing. We want to improve her ability to construct arguments as well as analyze devices in writing. She has a lot of trouble with writing focused, purposeful sentences. So far, we've been reading opinion/op-ed news articles and making arguments based on those topics. However, I'm running out of resources fast. If anyone has links to articles/passages that your students have found engaging, please share them! Thanks. Also, if you have other tips for helping my student improve her writing, feel free to let me know.
