The purpose of persuasive writing is to convince readers to share your opinion or take a particular action. To try and make your readers agree with your opinion, you build an argument based on the logical appeals of reason and evidence. You may also add emotional appeals to persuade your readers and support claims. An emotional appeal tries to use a reader’s fears, hopes, wishes, or sense of fairness to sway their opinion. In order for students to become effective persuasive writers, it’s important they investigate how purpose will influence the persuasive strategies they use in their writing. Start by reviewing the different purposes of persuasive writing as a class. Analyze persuasive texts, or other forms of media, and then identify the purpose for the text.

These engaging, visual writing prompts with pictures will get even your most reluctant writer writing! These fun writing prompts are no prep, just print and go. -These images are scaffolded by using the students senses to add interest to their writing Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. -Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader’s interest. If you want your writing to jump off the page, then bring your reader into the world you are creating. -When describing a past event, try and remember what you saw, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted, then incorporate that into your writing. -Sensory details are used in any great story, literary or not. Think about your favourite movie or video game. What types of sounds and images are used? What do your favorite characters taste, smell, and touch? -Without sensory details, stories would fail to come to life. -When sensory details are used, your readers can personally experience whatever you’re trying to describe, reminding them of their own experiences, giving your writing a universal feel. A universal quality is conveyed when the writer can personally connect with the readers. -Another note about sensory details: there is no one sense that’s more important than another.

This ALL ABOUT ME lap book can be worked on throughout the first week of school, but older students should be able to finish the project in a single day, if necessary. The open-ended design makes it most appropriate for children in grades k-2, as they can each write and draw at their own developmental level. •These books have been designed for use with Special Needs students in mind but can be used with any students. •The purpose of this resource is to create an overview of each child for those instances when the regular classroom teacher may be away from class, and the sub or relief teacher needs a quick and easy overview of the students in the class. •Assembly is easy with students cutting around the dotted designated lines and stapling or gluing the pages together into a booklet which can be displayed on the classroom wall or in a storage box for easy access. •Children can have their information scribed for them by an adult or they can draw images that go with each page in the booklet. 1.All about me- what I want people to know about me (preferred name, likes- dislikes etc) 2.My family- whatever the child would like to share about themselves and their families 3.My Friends- Who I like to work with at school? Who I feel safe with at school?

Perfect for Morning Meeting activities -Fun Friday games, rewards and brain breaks, this NO-PREP game bundle is highly motivating for your students. -From time to time, as relief teachers we will go to a classroom and find that there is no lesson plan waiting. If you are familiar with the subject at hand, you can typically use the textbook as a basis for a lesson about the topic currently being taught. However, an issue arises when you know little about the class’s subject. Improvising for Relief Teachers -It is best to come prepared for the worst with activities and ideas of things to do with students which will engage and keep them on task. Obviously, it is always best to relate any work that you give to the subject if you can, but if not, it is still important to keep students busy and on task. In terms of classroom management, the worst thing to do is to just let them talk. This can often lead to either disruption within the class or even worse noise levels that disturb neighbouring teachers. -There are countless skills that students can develop through game playing such as critical thinking skills, creativity, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. -They are great fun, and I have tried every one of them in my classes. Quickly and easily plan an activity, physical education lessons or math and spelling game with these NO PREP ideas. -We all need to have these games up our sleeve for those lessons that may run short by 1-15 minutes, or as a brain break.

The lines may not suit the font that you are using and so I have provided you with a blank sheet that can be used for you to add the line style that is used in your particular school or district. In Australia, for example, we have a different font style for each state and so it would be incredibly difficult to create a resource for everyone of them….hence this resource being made editable. If you would prefer not to do the editing yourself, I am happy to do it for you for you for a small fee (you would need to provide the font for me to use as I don’t have all school fonts on my computer) This is for use by one teacher in one classroom.
