We are currently working on persuasive writing in my 5th-grade ELAR class. One of my favorite things to teach is writing. It’s always so rewarding to me when I have a student or parent tell me that they hated writing until they entered my class.

It makes me do a happy dance.

It’s always hard to motivate students to write when they detest writing. My strong belief is to start teaching writing as young as kindergarten. I don’t think students really hate writing, but they don’t know how to write so the concept is overwhelming to so many students.

I do.

We do.

You do is my teaching model.

It’s so important not to skip a step in the writing process. You need to teach preciously each step. It typically takes me about 3 weeks from start to finish when I’m teaching a particular writing genre.

I created these persuasive writing prompts that include a persuasive writing anchor chart, a persuasive writing graphic organizer, and persuasive writing prompts for the Christmas season. The persuasive writing prompts are silly, but fun. I’m really excited to share them with my 5th-grade students this week.
