Description This workshop features the classrooms of two teachers: sixth-grade language arts teacher Jenny Beasley and fifth-grade teacher Jack Wilde. Both are teaching units on persuasive writing that allow students to write about topics that matter to themtopics drawn from their experiences within their own communities. The students begin by exploring a range of possible editorial topics. When we catch up with the class, they already have narrowed their focus to one issue. Now, with Jenny's help, the students are laying the groundwork for effective and authentic editorials. Meanwhile, Jack is introducing his students to persuasive writing by asking them to write on a familiar subjecttheir school community. Using a skillful mix of modeling, brainstorming, and conferring, Jack is teaching his class how to develop and organize an effective persuasive essay. While the videos take place in middle school classrooms, the skills and strategies taught are readily applicable to ABLE classrooms. All instructions and materials for this workshop are accessed through this website: http://www.learner.org/workshops/middlewriting/
