Good job working on being persuasive today!
We worked with partners to develop arguments about 15 different topics, then chose a topic to write about. Everyone made outlines that included reasons and examples, then we started the essays in the computer lab. Students also used the internet to find statistics, phrases, and useful information relating to their essays.
Finally, we took a look at the essay "We Need a Revolution" as a current example of a persuasive essay.
THIS WEEK!
1) Listen to and read "We Need a Revolution" at http://thisibelieve.org/essay/73058/. Notice her strong approach and organizational style. Use this essay to put yourself into the kind of aggressive mood you need to write in English!
2) Finish the first draft of your persuasive essay by Tuesday (midnight). Don't forget to use the SWAP method of proofreading it. I will edit it, and in Friday's class you can make corrections/additions.
NOTE: You will be writing one more persuasive essay in this class, so start thinking about it now.
GOOD LUCK!
