Convey Ideas in Writing

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Use the platforms of the 2004 presidential candidates to bring persuasive writing to your class. Young voters identify the three issues most important to them in the election and research the issues and candidates' positions. They write a persuasive essay defending their candidate choice. To make the instructional activity more applicable, explore current elections. An ideal plan for high schoolers who have studied government and/or economics.
