Getting Started

Welcome Class!

         In our new writing unit we are going to be working on persuasive writing.
We will examine and create two different types of persuasive writing. One is persuasive letters and the other is persuasive reviews (movie, restaurant, book, etc).



A good way to explain persuasive writing is...

          
These are just a few examples on how to explain persuasive writing. How would you explain it in your own words? Your job tonight is to show someone in your family our new Persuasive Writing Blog Website and come up with your own definition of Persuasive Writing. Bring it to class tomorrow or feel free to comment in the 'comment' section under this entry. 

Throughout our unit on persuasive writing we will use this blog website to update what we know and what we want to learn about persuasive writing. We will also be adding all of our own examples of persuasive writing to share with the class. This is a great way for your families to stay updated on what we are doing in the classroom. 

Enjoy this new tool!!
