8th Grade--11/30

Today we began class by discussing the concept of "addressing the other side of the argument" in persuasive writing. I provided a model of how to do this seamlessly in the body paragraphs of a persuasive essay, and then we practiced this together using multiple student persuasive topics. Students were then given their last day to work on the rough draft of their persuasive papers.
