We are diving into the unit of persuasive writing. Persuasive writing in Kindergarten? Can you believe it! I definitely can. These kids have a lot to say when it comes to making our classroom, school, community, and world a better place. In persuasive writing, we start by noticing or seeing a problem around us that involves more than just ourself. We then have to think of a possible solution. This part is harder than it sounds! A lot of students are drawn to the solution of "just stop." We all know that "just stopping" something is a lot easier said than done. We have been working together to think of solutions that are complex and require a little more effort from everyone involved. The last step is to think about who you are going to write to and how you are going to persuade them of your solution through writing. This can look like a book read to the whole class, a letter to Ms. Jesse, a petition calling people to help, an announcement at Monday Morning Meeting, ect. I can't wait to see what changes come about because of our writing!! What a great tie into our next project, "How can we use our creativity to help?" Some of the problems that have come up so far are: - littering - pushing on the playground - running in the hallway - friends not being kind - |
