Direct Instruction
We have been learning about persuasive writing for a few weeks and I wanted to challenge students to consider both sides of the argument rather than only taking one side. This lesson was designed to try and get students to see how sometimes a pro argument and a con argument are related and therefore both sides should be discussed together.
This was a small group lesson, however the same lesson was done with the whole class as well.
Sentence prompts used were part of our learning the previous week so the students had already had some experience using them.
