A Goldfish is the Best Pet

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This A Goldfish is the Best Pet lesson plan also includes:
  • Rubric
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

Provide your class with a list of possible topics (three are included here, but they're not exactly gripping), and polish their persuasive writing skills. This plan really emphasizes the prewriting process, and several graphic organizers are included. There are organizers that focus on your learner's position and the opposing position.
