__** Persuasive Writing Wiki Project ** __

__ Unit Description __ During our persuasive writing unit, the seventh grade students learned about persuasive writing techniques in a variety of ways. Once these techniques were introduced, they analyzed their use in current online advertisements. Students were then asked to apply these persuasive writing techniques and use them to create an advertisement for a trip to a self-selected destination. Their advertisement was displayed on a class wiki using at least two of the EITHER/OR strategies for persuasive writing that were taught. A variety of technology tools were introduced to the students and they made a decision as to which tools would be used on their personal page. Students created a discussion forum on their wikispace to complete a self and peer evaluation of their use of the techniques studied.
