on Opinion & Persuasive Writing
on Dear Fourth Grade Families,
We are currently working on a unit on persuasive writing, an important genre in fourth grade. Students are learning to write essays that state a clear and important thesis and support their thesis with a variety of types of evidence, such as stories, examples, and quotations. They are learning to structure essays into introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions and to use transition phrases to make the relationships between their ideas and evidence clear.
I am attaching here a couple examples of the type of work that is expected in our Writer’s Workshop curriculum. Please click the links below to take a look. A fourth grade example and a fifth grade example are included to give you an idea of the work that would meet and would exceed expectations.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Thanks!
Ms. McNally
