Hi everyone,

I can't believe we're having such beautiful weather.  I hope the sun stays out for all of June!

Persuasion Essay:
In today's lesson, we started our next essay:  the persuasion essay.  We learned about the purpose and structure of a persuasion essay.  

A persuasion essay gives the writer's opinion on a topic and the writer wants to convince the reader to support his/her position (either for or against something). 

We also brainstormed a variety of topics that you can choose from for your topic. For this essay, you'll give your position (for or against) on a controversial topic.

Introduction Structure:
We also learned about the different parts of an introduction for a persuasion essay:  
a.  hook
b.  general statements:  information about both positions
c.  thesis statement

You can choose from four different hooks: 
a.  quotes
b.  questions
c.  statistics
d.  interesting facts
