I Really Love This More

Young language arts learners choose between two activities and then attempt to convince their classmates of their choice as a way of practicing persuasive speech. This particular lesson uses Valentine's Day as a theme; learners chose between different holiday themed activities, however this lesson could easily be adapted to any theme. This activity would make a great warm-up or anticipatory lesson to a larger persuasive writing unit as it does not provide any actual instruction in persuasion.
