Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
Intermediate Level
In this class, students will learn 9 steps that will make their persuasive writing more effective. This will be wonderful for school essays, editorials and more.  Each week we will discover different ways that using the power of three can make their writing more persuasive. The class will be a combination of teacher led mini-lectures, students' written and oral responses. We will begin by brainstorming ideas. Once students have ideas, we will begin writing using specific strategies. At the beginning of each class, students will have a chance to share their writing and get feedback from peers and me. 
Lessons week by week:
Week One: The Magic Three-- Why THREE is important; brainstorming topics
Week Two:  Thesis statements-The essential beginning- using parallel structure to help with organization, use a pattern:  X should/should not _____ 
Week Three: Three ways to hook the reader-- conflict, mystery, metaphor and/or: anecdote, statistic, quotation
Three parts of an essay--Lead/hook, body, conclusion
Week Four: Three body paragraphs-- plus one (counterclaim)
Week Five: Three qualities of good examples, explanations, details, evidence, facts, quotations, 
Week Six: Final editing/proofreading. Share final paper. Evaluation

Learning Goals

Students will improve their persuasive writing techniques by harnessing the power of THREE.
