This product includes anchor charts, graphic organizers, persusaive/opinion writing prompts, friendly letter writing templates, checklists, and rubrics. It is  EVERYTHING  you need to teacher persuasive or opinion writing in a friendly letter format.

There are so many reasons you will love this unit!

• First of all, it is differentiated writing. Students select their persuasive topic from a set of 30 idea cards. This will be very helpful since thinking up a writing topic is very difficult for students.

I always project the anchor pages onto my interactive whiteboard during instruction, but you could also print them out for students to keep in their writing folder or to hang in your classroom.

 

• Thirdly, there are printables to help your students with the writing process: 2 choices of planning organizers, editing checklists in color or b/w, friendly letter template, and a rubric to assess writing.
