Persuasive Writing Recipe PowerPoint. We use recipes for many things, why not persuasive writing? This powerpoint gives students a “recipe” to follow when writing a persuasive essay, and gives them the basic framework for a persuasive writing piece, starting with an introductory paragraph that ends with a thesis statement, at least three well-supported paragraphs that have a topic sentence related to the thesis statement, and a conclusion that restates the thesis and calls the reader to agree and take action. Reminds students to be prepared for counter arguments, and to write with strong ideas, voice, fluency, organisation, presentation, and conventions.

Suffixes for Parts of Speech Posters. These are posters ( or you may project overhead) that can be used to teach suffixes that are associated with parts of speech.

Learning these suffixes will greatly expand a student's understanding of how words work in context and aid in reading comprehension as well.
