Resources for Teaching Persuasive Writing
- Teaching Persuasive Writing by Sarah Picard Taylor is a pocket-sized guide to teaching persuasive writing including a unit of signs and posters for kindergartners, persuasive letter writing for first graders and persuasive reviews for second graders. The persuasive unit is meant to fit nicely with Calkin's Primary Units of Study. At Chets Creek we have decided to use the signs and posters and the persuasive letters as the end product for our kindergartners.
Children's books to use with this unit
Click Clack Moo is a great book to introduce this unit. This slide show of the book can be used instead of the text book or try this Youtube video that is an actual video of the book.
I Wanna Iguana is a great persuasive text as a little boy tries to convince his mother that he needs an iguana and she tries to convinve him that he doesn't!
Earrings! by judith Voirst is a delightfully written persuasive text about a little girl who begs her parents for earrings.

Favorite books for this unit:
- new bookfrom the same author as I Wanna Iguana
From the blogosphere:
I introduce the genre with OREO (opinion, reason, example, restate opinion). We begin with graphic organizer below until the kids understand how to write without the support.
The follow up lesson models how to transfer the writing into complete sentences. This book does a wonderful job at teaching reasons. The kids enjoyed it too!

Research Writing
Super 3 Research process
1. Plan
What am I supposed to do?
What do I need to get the job done?
What do I want it to look like when I'm done?
2. Do
I must locate the things I will need (books, websites, materials etc.).
I need to ask questions, read, and take notes.
I need to use the information I find to create something.
3. Review
Did I do what I was supposed to do?
Am I proud of what I've done?
Is there something else I should do before I say I am done?
