Event Type

How do we persuade our readers or audience to believe something we think is important? In this class, students will learn about three persuasion strategies, Ethos, Logos, and Pathos, and use them to write persuasively about a topic of their choice.

Materials

Students will need something to write on and something to write with.

A topic they are interested in persuading others that they think is important. I will send a list of possible topics and questions for them to answer when you register for the class.

Class Structure

In this class, students will look at persuasive techniques and use them in their writing. I use short, fun exercises to help kids find interest and write. Time will be provided for students to share their writing if they want to. Students will find my classroom is a place to have fun, practice, and not worry about being perfect!

Teaching Style-

I believe in student-centered learning and the importance of structure in a classroom. I set classroom agreements to help create a safe, fun, inspiring space for all students to feel supported, want to participate, and be able to learn. I encourage participation but do not force it. I use materials to help students connect and find interest.

Interaction-

I encourage participation throughout the class through both the chat and verbal. I make sure to answer all questions and call on all students who wish to participate. Students will interact with each other through discussion and when sharing their writing.

Prior Experience-

Students do not need prior knowledge to learn and/or enjoy this class.
