  1. Persuasion Lesson 5: The Hamburger Model of Persuasive Writing

  2. 5.1: Introduction to the hamburger model • There are many ways in which one can try to persuade others to do or believe something: • Advertisements • Newspaper editorials • Speeches • Conversation • Writing • Take out SA 5A and read “Why You Should Become a Vegetarian.” • As you read, underline words that are used to persuade.

  3. 5.1: Introduction to the hamburger model • What words did you underline? How were those words used to persuade? • Turn to SA 5B. Use the hamburger model to break down the paragraph you read on SA 5A. • What is the “top bun,” or topic statement of the paragraph? • What is the “meat” or supporting reasons? How many reasons does the author provide? Are they convincing reasons? Explain. • What extra “fixings,” or details and examples did the author include in the paragraph? • What is the “bottom bun,” or conclusion to the paragraph?

  4. 5.2: Practice with the hamburger model • Take out SA 5C. You will be rearranging the sentences on this page, using the Hamburger Model as a guide to composing a paragraph with the sentences. This will be a partner activity. • You will be sharing your final paragraph with the class. • Do you agree or disagree with the arrangement of the sentences? • What other possibilities are there for the arrangement? • How could we change the paragraph to make it more interesting or convincing?

  5. 5.3: Write using the Hamburger model • You will be using the Hamburger Model to respond to the following prompt: • Should students receive cash rewards for earning good grades in school? Take a point of view on this questions and write a paragraph explaining and defending your opinion.

  6. 5.3: Write using the Hamburger model • Think about the prompt. Is your first reaction to agree or disagree? • Think of at least one reason for your point of view. • Now, write down your opinion and reasons for holding this opinion. • Find a partner who shares your opinion. • Together, complete SA 5D , the Hamburger Model using your opinion and reasons. • Draft a paragraph. Then revise and write your final paragraph on chart paper (provided) to share with the class.

  7. 5.3: Write using the Hamburger model • As you listen to your classmates’ paragraphs, consider the following: • Identify the structural elements of the paragraph (introduction, reasons, elaboration, and conclusion). • How convincing is the paragraph? What makes it work, or what could make it work better?

  8. Journal Conferences: Coming soon! • Remember that you should be adding entries to your Literature Journals based on your reactions to your independent reading. • This writing is informal, but provides you with the chance to sharpen your analytical skills, deepen your appreciation of the workings of a text, and improve your ability to communicate your ideas, feelings, and reactions. • We will begin meeting individually tomorrow.

  9. Homework: • Use the Hamburger Model to write a persuasive paragraph responding to the following prompt: • Imagine that the student government has been given $500 to purchase something to benefit the school. Take a point of view on how the money should be spent and write a paragraph explaining and defending your opinion. • Your paragraph should be in rough draft form and should be completed by tomorrow for completion credit. You will use it again in Lesson 8 in a couple of weeks. • Continue reading and responding to your novel. The reading and your set of questions 1B or 1C are due_______________________.
