Process

Process: To do this activity, you will need the internet and Microsoft Word. You must make printouts for you class. Make use of the technology provided. Be creative, we all know writing is our students least favorite.

Phase I: Background Discuss with your team members their prior knowledge about your given section of the writing process and persuasive writing.  Finally, discuss the jobs that each person needs to do in order to teach a 15 minute lesson, everyone must participate.

Phase II: Looking Deeper You now know the basics to your section of the writing process, now use the internet to find information that you can either make into worksheets and notes (graphic organizers, proofreading marks, topics to write about, and publishing). These resources should add to your lesson by giving your students something physical to look at.
