Persuasive Writing-mini-lessons for gr. 6-8
by lola
Apr 24, 2012
I'm teaching a writing elective just on persuasive writing. I've been searching high and low for ideas for mini lessons on persuasive writing.

I have these ideas for mini-lessons: 1) hook/launch/attention grabber 2) claim/reason 3) opposing argument 4) writing a conclusion ---probably hardest one for me! How do you an "activity" with this? 5) random grammatical things that come up 6) looking at essays and persuasive writing examples and identifying 1-4 7) the different types of persuasive writing: editorials, reviews, letters to X person/group, ads

I'm feeling stuck because what else should I be focusing on? Also, how do you give a mini-lesson on a conclusion? I have a lot of good writers in the class who are ready for tying it together, but this is hard for me to make into an activity? The only thing I can think of is to provide examples and remove the conclusion. They can write a conclusion. Any other ideas for mini-lessons or how to do a mini-lesson on conclusion...See More
