Before developing their pitches, the included presentation teaches students how to write for a specific audience, create strong hooks and claims, use persuasive language and reasoning, apply ethos, pathos, and logos, address potential objections, and end with a strong call to action. Then, it’s time to pitch! Each team receives one of six creative and funny products, such as an Automatic Pet Translator, Edible Notebook Paper, or a Dream Recorder, and works collaboratively to plan and write a convincing business pitch. Teams use their persuasive writing skills and rehearse their pitches before presenting them to the class and making their case for why their invention deserves the million-dollar investment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is included in a full-year program:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e→\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shop.prestoplans.com\/products\/the-ela-games-back-to-school-middle-high-ela-full-year-team-building-program\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe ELA Games Program\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eIncluded in This Persuasive Writing Activity and Lesson:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e➡️\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersuasive Writing Activity Teacher Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA detailed teacher guide provides everything you need to successfully run the activity in your classroom.
