Before
- Discussion of prior knowledge of persuasive writing
During
- Watched a SMART exchange video on persuasive writing
- Reviewed understanding of and practiced doing some persuasive exercises
- Read various examples of persuasive writing and noted the differences and similarities. (Also, noting the variety of writing dress-ups; so that we can hear the persuasive words.)
- Co-constructed criteria for the writing process of persuasive writing.
- Students created their own persuasive paragraph writing examples.
- Learned how to improve so the writing incorporated the specific writing strategy and dress-ups so that the listener, reader could hear the conviction of being persuaded.
- Students then chose one of their samples to create a power point presentation for class.

In my Grade 5 ELA class, we are learning about the persuasive techniques that advertisers use to entice you to buy their products or use their services. We spent a few classes watching TV commercials and viewing print ads and identifying the persuasive techniques that the advertisers used. The students were then placed into small groups (2-3 people) and were asked to choose a product or service that they will try to sell. They were asked to create any props, backdrops, posters, etc. that would help to advertise their product or service. They also had to keep in mind that different target audiences will require different persuasive techniques. My goal for my 21st Century Competencies work is to learn how to use imovie and then teach the students so that they can create an actual TV commercial in order to advertise their product or service.

We decided it would be fun to make a creative diorama book report. A diorama is the three dimensional re-creation of a scene. They are created inside of a box. The student was to choose a book he/she had recently read and create a diorama using a shoe box. A written report was also part of the book report.
Belonging to a family is another important relationship in our lives. We can choose our friends but, like it or not, we are born into families and we must, for the most part, manage with those with whom we find ourselves. However these various relationships work out, our interactions with family members have a profound influence throughout our lives. This resource is based off of "All" By Leona Gom.

Every culture has its stories. Long ago, before people invented writing, stories about important beliefs, deities, heroes, and experiences were told and retold. The best of these were passed by word-of-mouth from one generation to the next to form an important part of our heritage. Some early stories were told in the form of poems, others in the form of songs, and others in the form of what we now call tales or narratives.
Each of these stories has something important to tell and teach us. The main characters challenge us to explore the complexity and fragility of being human. They force us to examine our relationships with others and our environment, our many faces of virtue and our human failings. They force us to relate the values, behaviours, and attitudes of the characters in the narrative to our own personalities and our own lives. Many of the stories are tales that give us a window into the values, beliefs, and practices of people past and present.
These narratives not only teach and entertain but also make us think about the big questions regarding human nature and the meaning of life that have confronted humankind through the ages.
Included are resources for writing checklists for strategies and qualities and rubrics for grade 8 ELA.
