Persuasive Writing, A Curriculum Design: K-12.
Bennett, Susan G., Ed.
In the spirit of the Texas Hill Country Writing Project and in response to the requirements of the Texas Assessment of Basic Skills, this guide presents writing assignments reflecting a commitment to a unified writing program for kindergarten through grade twelve. The framework for the assignments is adopted from the discourse theory of James Kinneavy--a theory that considers the aims, the modes, the media, and the arts of discourse. The guide includes persuasive/descriptive assignments for kindergarten through grade five, persuasive/classificatory assignments for grades six through eight, and persuasive/evaluative assignments for grades nine through twelve. For each of the grade levels, the guide offers a general description of the assignments, relevant theory, procedures, evaluation, and possible follow-ups/spinoffs/grade level considerations. (HOD)
