Persuasive Poster/ Advertisement

After a two weeks of reading persuasive mentor texts and teaching my students the parts of a persuasive piece (O.R.E.O.-Opinion, Reasons, Examples, Opinion), we decided to make a class advertisement poster. My students voted on the place we would like to advertise and Disney World won. As a class we came up with an opinion (Disney World is the most fun place in the USA), some reasons (they have lots of princesses and characters, fun roller coasters and rides) and examples (see Mickey Mouse, you can talk to NEMO). I designed the poster and allowed the students to trace the words and color in Mickey Mouse! They LOVED this activity!!
