MAKING PERSUASIVE WRITING FUN AND EASY

-












Persuasive essay can also be known as opinion essay.  Its main aim is to convince, persuade and also sway the opinion of the reader.

Let the children know the difference between Opinion and fact. Give children several examples




It is very important to write about the children’s interest because this will make them write with so much passion. For a beginner, children can start with a five paragraph essay: not too long and not too short. It must also be convincing and includes facts and quotes from experts in that field.

Format of a persuasive essay
The First paragraph
Introduction
This include the lead, the topic sentence the opinion of the writer and sometimes the reasons
The second paragraph
This is the first main reason supporting your opinion. It must include details{ facts and quotes}
The Third paragraph
Main reason two; supporting your opinion
The Fourth paragraph
This is the third reason supporting your opinion
The Fifth paragraph
Conclusion
This is where we restate our opinion and what we want the reader to go with.


Children should know the acronym O.R.E.O. bring the biscuit to the class and paste the pack on the board. Give it the biscuits to the children that can tell you the meaning of the acronym after teaching.

Teachers must remember that they start from children’s interest. Things you know they will like to discuss. For example;
·       Children should choose their bedtime
·       Break time should be for one hour
When we ask children to write what they are emotional about; it becomes very easy to teach them

Give children a printed copy of a persuasive essay and let them identify the different parts.

Games
·       Divide the children into groups and hand over cardboards and glue to them.
·       Give the children the different parts of a persuasive essay and ask the groups to glue it on the cardboard using the format above.
·       Go round and check their work.
 Ask the children to write their favorite food and three reasons why it is their favorite food.

Happy Teaching!

          “Yeah it’s time for recess!” shouted Jake and it was time to outside. The class perfect spent ten minutes arranging the line and she shouted “Oh come on, this break time is only thirty minutes!” She managed to arrange us and they went down stairs. When they got there, the Hummingbirds were already there and did not allow the us to play. By the time they finish playing, it was break over. We were sad. In my opinion, I believe break time should be extended to one hour.                My first point is, we need to make new friends and  we need more time to allow us to make new friends. Also, your cousin can be in the same school and you won’t even know, imagine that! I strongly believe we need more recess time.                  Next, it enables us to explore nature. We need more break time because exploring nature is good. You can see the plants around the school and learn from them. Also see creatures that people thought were extinct.                Finally, when we s

THE STRANGE ENCOUNTER

It was a boring afternoon with my sisters and I on the couch. Our parents had gone to work and weren’t coming home until tomorrow and there was nothing for us to do. The phones were down and the thunderstorm last night had smashed the Dstv dish. Suddenly, Stella my younger sister came up with an idea!                                                                                 ‘‘Why don’t we go on an adventure into the valley’’                                                                      Without even thinking about it I concluded it was a good idea. We all sprang up from the couch and raced to our various rooms. I put on a yellow T-shirt with animal paw prints all over it. I got my adventure bag and packed all the resources I needed. When I got downstairs, I noticed my sisters had copied my outfit and even the adventure bag. Too excited to get mad I overlooked their ‘offence’ and shouted “LET’S GO!” We reached the valley, it was such an amazing sight that
