Persuasive Third Graders
We began a new unit in writing. Our focus is persuasive writing. We began our unit with a fun, quick speech writing activity. As a class, we brainstormed a thesis statement. Our thesis statement is that 3rd grade students should be able to give the announcements over the loudspeaker in the morning before school. The class did a great job brainstorming why we should be able to do this. They each took our statement and then added their own reasons and examples. Their goal was to be as persuasive as they could! They had to keep in mind that the audience they were writing this for was Dr. Gagnon. They had to think of the reasons that would be most convincing for her! I am attaching a few videos that are snippets of the speeches they gave in class! The last video is our whole class reciting what we wrote together. Being persuasive is a very challenging task, but I was very proud of the reasons and speeches they came up with!
Enjoy!
