English lesson: persuasive writing (grade 8)
A 9-slide English lesson on claim, evidence, and reasoning for ages 13 to 14. GenPPT made all 9 slides. The prompt is on this page.
Why this deck works
- Claim, evidence, and reasoning keep the same three colours on each slide.
- One example goes through the full lesson: should school start one hour later?
- Slide 7 shows a full model paragraph with the three parts marked.
- The checklist on slide 8 lets students check their own paragraph.
The prompt that made it
GenPPT prompt
9-slide English lesson for grade 8 (ages 13 to 14) on how to write a persuasive paragraph with a claim, evidence, and reasoning. Slide order: 1 title, 2 today's goal, 3 a question to argue about (should school start one hour later?), 4 claim, 5 evidence, 6 reasoning, 7 a model paragraph with the three parts in three colours, 8 your turn with a checklist, 9 exit ticket. Rules: one idea per slide. Short text on each slide, but not on the model paragraph. Use the same three colours for claim, evidence, and reasoning on each slide. Style: bold editorial poster, black and white with three highlighter colours. No photos of people. No real people.
