Before the holiday break, students were introduced to persuasive writing (AKA opinion writing). This week, students will continue learning about the different parts of a strong persuasive writing piece such as an introduction and citing evidence to support their reasons. Persuasive writing is a powerful tool for expressing one's opinions, and students will learn to use persuasive writing as an outlet to inspire change in the world around them.
