I liked your lesson on persuasion. The infomercial was a good example to start off with to get everyone thinking about how persuasion is used. I liked how you used the two different versions of the Three Little Pigs and divided the group to study them. I have to say the wolf makes a strong case for his innocence. The debate got everyone engaged and participating, thinking about how to persuade the other group. If you were to teach this lesson again, you might think about introducing different kinds of persuasion, such as appealing to logos, pathos, and ethos. Also, a more subtle example of persuasion might get students thinking more and make them work for it.
Your lesson was very engaging and effective. Your graphic organizer was a great way to make us focus on the wolve's methods of persuasion. I agree with Mr. Burson, I too felt that the wolf had built a strong case in his own defense. Another possibilty, time allowing, would be to have the two groups engage in a mock trial where they'd have to actively persuade the judge (yourself).
Hi Michele! Awesome job with the lesson yesterday! I really enjoyed seeing persuasive writing within the stories of my childhood. I never really thought about the stories as being persuasive, but now I do! I can’t really think of a constructive criticism to give you for the lesson because I thought that it was well thought out. The persuasion map was really helpful when trying to organize my ideas and thoughts on the story. I also think that will be useful for other classes when I have to be persuasive. Overall, I enjoyed learning about persuasive writing by looking at children’s books! -Laura
