Over the last couple of days we have been learning how to write announcements. The other day the light bulb went off for me...pair up this writing format with our latest text form of persuasive writing! The task I gave the kids was to write an announcement for a club that you are starting. I told them that they want kids to join so they have to make convincing points to encourage other kids to sign up.
I don't think I have ever seen kids so engaged in a writing task and boy oh boy are the announcements good! We have some interesting ideas for clubs with very persuasive ideas for joining them. I love when the creative juices get flowing in Room 209!
We will share our announcements as a class tomorrow. I can't wait!
