Today You Will Have to Persuade Me • Today you will be working together in groups to create a persuasive piece that you will present to the rest of the class. • Each team will need to choose a recorder (someone to write the piece) and a speaker to present your essay (either one person or the entire group can present to the class). • You will have fifteen minutes to write your persuasive piece.
What Are You Writing About? • Each group will write a mini essay persuading me, the teacher, why I should give their group members five extra points on their lowest grade. • Your essay can be serious or playful. • You must include at least three reasons/examples to support your argument. • Use as many persuasive techniques as you can/want.
