Persuasive Writing Unit | Collaborative Learning Task

Opinion Writing Bundle

Collaborative Simulation Lessons

These two opinion writing mini lessons are the epitome of collaboration through court room stimulations for two very well known stories. Both mini lessons follow an identical sequence, reinforcing persuasive writing techniques in a fun way.

Students will work together to prove their "innocence" creating alibi's and answering probing questions. Discover for yourselves, through creating the scenarios, suspect profiles, taking notes as a detective and voting for a mock jury, who the culprit was.

What's included per mini lesson?

• A lesson plan sequence to support teachers
• Brainstorm templates for creating baker questions
• Individual suspect profile sheets
• Suspect name cards to display during the mock trial
• Note taking pages for the jury and witnesses
• Voting cards to discover who the guilty suspect is
• Writing templates for students to write their persuasive piece about who is guilty

How to Use:

• Print the templates provided and you are ready to go!
