Writing is taken to a whole other level when students know their work will be read/heard by 
an audience that extends beyond the classroom! This unit combines writing, blogging, podcasting and multimedia.
My students love this Persuasive letter writing unit (Smart Teacher Exchange/ PDF Download) where they learn persuasion techniques through multimedia, practice these techniques by writing a short letter to the “Ant Bully” and go through an extensive process to write a persuasive letter to their parents. Finally, students podcast (voice record) their letter, where their authentic voices add another dimension to their writing!
Templates, success criteria and student exemplars are included!
Enjoy!
