"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to dive into the exciting world of persuasive texts. Can anyone tell me what they think a persuasive text is? Yes, that’s right! A persuasive text is something that tries to convince someone to believe or do something.
For example, advertisements are persuasive texts trying to convince you to buy a product. Can you think of other examples? Great! Now, let’s discuss why persuasive texts are important. They help us express our opinions and influence others. By the end of today, you will be able to write your own persuasive statement. Are you ready to get started?"
"Now, I have a special excerpt of a persuasive text for us to look at together. Let’s read it as a class. Listen closely to the words and phrases that stand out.
(After reading)
What techniques did you notice? Yes, there were some strong adjectives and a call to action! For instance, when the text said 'You must try this delicious ice cream,' that is persuasive language. It makes you want to try the ice cream, right? Let’s underline or circle some of these persuasive phrases together. Which words do you think are the most convincing? Excellent! You've all done a wonderful job identifying these key techniques!"
"Now that we know what persuasive texts are and how they work, I'm going to give each of you a printable card with a prompt on it.
(Distribute the cards)
On your card, you will see a topic that you can write a persuasive statement about. I want you to look at your card and think about what you want to say. You will fill out the card using the techniques we’ve just discussed. Remember, use persuasive language to make your point strong! Does everyone understand how to fill out the card? Perfect! You have five minutes to think and write your ideas on this card."
"Okay, it's time to write! Use your printable card as a guide to create your persuasive statement. Think about the strong words and phrases we talked about.
(Allow students to start writing)
I encourage you to be creative, and don’t forget to make your argument clear! You have ten minutes to write your statements. If you need any help or have questions, please raise your hand!"
"Time’s up! Can I have your attention, please? I’m going to come around and collect your cards now. I'll take a look at what you've written to see how well you've understood persuasive language.
(Collect the cards)
If you’re done, please put your card on my desk. If you haven’t finished, just do your best. Remember, this is a chance for you to show what you’ve learned!"
"Alright, let’s wrap up our lesson! Today we learned about what persuasive texts are, some persuasive language techniques, and we practiced writing our own persuasive statements.
Can anyone remind me what the main purpose of a persuasive text is? That’s right! To convince someone! I’m so proud of the effort you all put into your writing today.
Before we finish, does anyone want to share their thoughts or ideas about persuasive texts? Wonderful! I’d love for you all to think about what we learned today as you work on your homework. Remember, I’d like you to write a short persuasive paragraph to submit tomorrow. Great job today, everyone! See you next time!"
