Persuasive writing is an important skill that can seem intimidating to elementary students. In fourth grade we encourage students to use skills and knowledge they may not realize they already have. A classroom game introduces students to the basic concepts of lobbying for something that is important to them (or that they want) and making persuasive arguments. Students then choose their own persuasive piece to analyze and learn some of the definitions associated with persuasive writing. Once students become aware of the techniques used in oral arguments, they then apply them to independent persuasive writing activities and analyze the work of others to see if it contains effective persuasive techniques.
Currently, year 4 is in the "prewriting stage". We are brainstorming ideas and working on our graphic organizers. Love, Ms. Carla
