Very detailed plans and worksheets to go along with. The anchor chart was a nice bonus for the kids to visually see what we were working on.

I really appreciated how easy it was to follow. It is set up so that you have everything you need to successfully teach this to your students. I really like how this was broken down into meaningful lessons with additional mini lessons that can be used as needed. This saved me so much work!

This has many great resources that you could use or pull from for your persuasive unit. It gave a lesson plan for each day too which is nice if you’re stuck on what do next or where to go.

this is great. I thought that these lessons would be detailed lessons but they are not. However, I love that anchor charts and texts are given to help with planning.
