Instructional Ideas

• Ask class members to create a presentation that explains the basic principles of persuasive writing

Pros

• The eight-page packet includes a step-by-step plan, as well as links to the Gettysburg Address and the article, "Should Marine Mammals Be in Captivity"

Cons

• Neither a presentation nor a template for the worksheet are included
