Day 72: Mrs. Hall's 3rd Grade Writers

Persuasive 3rd Graders

Recently, students in Mrs. Hall's class worked with our Literacy Coach, Mrs. Wendt, and explored the genre of persuasive writing.  Students learned that there can be power in words, especially in a well-written persuasive writing piece.

Here are a few new understandings Mrs. Hall's students have learned:

• "There's a lot of steps, like revising your work."
• "You have to use good words to get people to read it."
• "You need to use words like 'finally', 'first', 'second', 'third' and 'in conclusion'."
• "The conclusion is important and you need to use the word 'should' in your conclusion."
• "You need at least three ideas to support what you think."
• "You need to get your reader's attention by having a strong opening."
