The fourth workshop [58:24] features the classrooms of two teachers: sixth-grade language arts teacher Jenny Beasley and fifth-grade teacher Jack Wilde. Both are teaching units on persuasive writing that allow students to write about topics that matter to them-topics drawn from their experiences within their own communities. Lessons and materials are available for download.
