Description
No planning needed! These 20 easy-to-use mini lessons have everything you need to make teaching persuasive writing a snap! In a month, your students will go from generating an idea to writing a persuasive essay.
Mini lessons are a great way to get all the parts of teaching persuasive writing up and running. Bite-sized activities for students make the writing process manageable, and your students feel successful!
Because the lessons are already finished and you'll have the examples you need, you'll have more time to work with with your students every step of the way!
Here's teachers are saying about my mini lessons:
- "I love how this resource breaks down each step of the process for students to make it more manageable."
- "Your organization is outstanding, and your thorough planning (with ALL your mini-lessons) is appreciated more than you know. Even if I, myself, spent days creating a set of mini-lessons to use in class, I don't think they would give me the the comfort and excitement that yours do."
- "I love the option of creating a workbook for them at the beginning of the unit, and I especially love the "I Can" statements at the top of each lesson (my principal will love that, too!). The teacher pages are a huge part of what makes this so amazing, though; your instructions, notes, standards, and lesson calendars are so thorough and incredibly helpful. The name of your store really says it all...Just Add Students!!"
This is what you'll get:
Digital and print versions of all these mini lessons. Two digital versions -- one is ready to go as is, and the other is editable.
