Then students read through a series of persuasive essays, identifying and discussing the persuasive elements found in the essays. Students then write their own persuasive essays. When students have finished, they read their essays in small groups, offer constructive feedback and positive comments, and reflect on how they can improve their own writing.  \nSnapshot  \nEngage: Students are given a debatable statement and, using the Fold the Line strategy, have the opportunity to share and discuss their opinions with classmates.  \nExplore: Students work through a series of persuasive essay stations. In teams, students analyze and discuss the persuasive elements found in the essays. A series of questions is displayed to help students with this process.  \nExplain: The purpose and definition of persuasive writing is discussed. The structure of a persuasive essay is outlined and the class co-creates an anchor chart. Students then practice identifying the claims and reasoning in a common persuasive essay and circle any persuasive vocabulary used in the writing. Extend: Students write their own persuasive essays using the template and the anchor chart to help them remember the persuasive techniques and vocabulary previously discussed. After reading their essays in small groups, group members offer constructive feedback and positive comments.  \nEvaluate: Students use the Exit Ticket strategy to reflect on their writing and how to improve it.  \n[https://learn.k20center.ou.edu/lesson/2768?rev=44005](https://learn.k20center.ou.edu/lesson/2768?rev=44005)  \nPage 2 of 9  \nStandards  \nOklahoma Academic Standards: English Language Arts (Grade 4)  \n4.3.
