This is the plan 5SK used to create their persuasive pieces. I found that my students were able to create the third sentence in a TEEL paragraph with more confidence using this plan.

In class tomorrow, students will create a persuasive joint construction in groups of 5 about the cane toad.

Step 1: Brainstorm ideas as a team

Step 2: Choose the best 3

Step 3: Write your 3 strongest arguments on your persuasive template

Steps 4: Decide who is going to write each of the paragraphs and what they will write about

Step 5: Separate and write your part

Step 6: Share as a team with the class

Students who are away tomorrow

I would like you to write a conclusion for the following information:

Sentence 1 – Topic Sentence
Toxic toads are invading Australia

Sentence 2 – Summarise the 3 arguments
Toxic pests are travelling faster than ever before
Killing not only Australian native animals but also killing family pets
The Government Abatement plan has failed and they are now unstoppable

Sentence 3 – Call to action (ask the reader to do something)
Stop the poisonous pests before it is too late

Students in 5S are currently working on the skills required to write a persuasive piece in readiness for our assessment task next week.

Over the last few weeks we have written body paragraphs using the TEEL structure. Today we examined both the introduction and conclusion paragraphs and how they are structured.
