Persuasive Writing

Students are currently learning how to write persuasively by writing their own persuasive essays on topics of personal interest.   While all of the writing, revising, and editing is taking place right here in class, students should be typing their revisions and editions on a word processor at home and bringing a clean copy to class every day for writer’s workshop.
