Are your students struggling to write a persuasive paragraph? This lesson plan provides an engaging introduction to persuasive writing using graphic organizers and examples of persuasive writing. Suitable for online learning and Google Classroom®!
This persuasive writing lesson begins with an inquiry-based slideshow for PowerPoint® or Google Slides®. In this lesson, students will compare and contrast different styles of writing using real student examples in order to better understand the characteristics of persuasive writing. They will also learn the “Golden Rules of Persuasive Writing” to use as a guideline for identifying and navigating this style of writing.
This lesson explores examples of main ideas and supporting points using an interactive slideshow lesson and graphic organizer activity. Students will differentiate between main points and evidence to solidify their understanding and prepare for opinion writing.
Students will define the main ideas and supporting details by examining the characteristics of each component of opinion writing. They will then use these definitions to differentiate between examples of main points and evidence provided within the slideshow.
Students will then independently practice these skills using the Main Idea and Supporting Details Graphic Organizer provided. This worksheet includes more examples of opinion writing that students must classify as either a “main idea” or “supporting evidence.”
Students will define categories of supporting evidence and explore examples to solidify their understanding. They will define different categories of supporting evidence by examining the characteristics of each type. Then, they can use these definitions to identify examples of supporting evidence provided within the slideshow.
Students will then consolidate the skills taught in the lesson using the Types of Supporting Details Word Wall Worksheets provided. These blank templates prompt students to define each type of supporting evidence and provide a unique example. These worksheets are provided in both colour & grayscale formats to suit your printing needs.
This word wall doubles as a classroom anchor chart: Once students complete this activity, you can display their work on your bulletin board.
