Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Gather students together for the start of lesson.
  • Bring out two different art supplies (a set of paints/colored pencils would work well).
  • Show the students both of the supplies and ask if there is one that they like using the best.
  • Say, “Today we are going to practice sharing our opinion with others by trying to convince or persuade (a fancy way of saying convince) each other why our opinion should be listened to.
  • Ask, “why would we want to persuade someone of something?” Answers might include: Convincing parents to get you a new toy, better rules at school, sharing why you think something is important so that other people agree/choose as well.
