Workshop Wednesday: Persuasive Writing

Happy Wednesday!
Workshop Wednesday Time with Jivey!

This week: Persuasive/Opinion/Argumentative Writing.

I first taught persuasive writing to my kids while we were learning our fact and opinion reading strategy (good planning LBD!).

So the two went hand in hand. :)

I modeled some really good persuasive writing using these two books:

I read I Wanna Iguana first, and we talk about some of the things Alex did to try and convince his parents. Then we create an anchor chart!

We read I Wanna New Room to check to make sure that our traits our correct (and because it's fun!).

I've also found some really good SMART Board files on SMART Exchange that explain it really well.

After I've modeled using the SMART Board files, I give them an organizer than mimics the one I did:

Easy 3 paragraph persuasive/opinion writing :)
