I appreciate that this is aligned to the Common Core. I was looking for some ways to start the unit on this book, and this will help nicely. It will also keep us meeting core standards. Thank you for sharing!

Meredith McNett (TpT Seller)
This was so helpful to get my students brainstorming for their topics. I had a few students use exactly what was written here, but many just needed a jump start to think of their own ideas. Thank you!

This was a great way to get in short, effective lessons with immediate student practice and feedback. I loved that each trait had a strong and weak example built in, and it allowed an excellent opportunity for getting overt responses from the kids. Having the corresponding guided notes already made for the kids cut down on my work load a lot.

This was a quick intro to persuasive techniques. Went great with the Power Point. However, it seems to be missing a couple of important techniques such as snob appeal and name calling. Also, I think the peer pressure technique is really more like snob appeal. Was very good though, and I appreciated the examples. It is time consuming to search and search for advertisements on your own. Thank-you!

arkangel re: Persuasive Techniques PowerPoint with Relevant Examples
I just purchased your file and am very disappointed because I can't open it. It says Power Point but it is saved as a Word file with a weird ppt.doc ending that is not recognized by either Word nor Power Point.
March 11, 2013
Literacy Across the Curriculum (TpT Seller)
Hello,
I'm sorry you're having trouble with this file! It's one of my bestselling products and no one has brought this issue to my attention before.
I just downloaded the file on both a Mac and a PC and it worked correctly; however, I did notice that when I selected "open" instead of "save," it did open as a Word Document and was completely unreadable. Try selecting "save" instead.
If you're still having issues with it, leave your e-mail address, and I will send you a copy. I hope that helps!
Best regards,
Katrina

Hi Andrea,
I hadn't originally included one because answers will vary for every question. Are you wanting answers for the graphic organizers? I'd be happy to put together some examples of good answers and repost the product. Please let me know if that's not what you're looking for. Thanks for your correspondence and suggestion.

nelsonv3642 re: Power Card Behavior Plan Classroom Management Tool
would you please check the document to see if there is an error on the change it choices side...it says "examples of power choices"...should it say "change it choices"? would you be able to correct this as the document is not editable? thanks.

Literacy Across the Curriculum (TpT Seller)
I just looked and you are correct; that is an error! I'm so sorry! I will e-mail you an edited copy.At what email address can I reach you?
The document is fixed, and you should be receiving an alert that I updated it. I believe that the alert should allow you to download the revised file, but it not, please send me your e-mail address, and I will send you the file directly. Thanks so much for catching my typo!

I was planning on doing both multiple choice for definitions of the traits as well as revising a paragraph. Your powerpoint has been a great way to practice the traits but I need to assess their retention before I move on. Let me know if you create anything!
February 4, 2013
campasselin re: Persuasive Techniques Cloze Notes with Relevant Examples
I am using your trait of writing powerpoint and cloze notes. Do you have a quiz or test you have created that I can purchase on the traits of writing?
February 3, 2013
Literacy Across the Curriculum (TpT Seller)
Hi,
Thanks for your correspondence. I actually do not have a quiz or test for the 6 Traits of Writing, but now that you mention it, I think I may make one. I have given students a paragraph and had them revise for each trait as an assessment after using these notes. Is that the type of quiz/test you think would be beneficial to users of the cloze notes? I appreciate your feedback!
Have a great day,
Katrina

Hi Cara,
Thanks for your correspondence. I just tried downloading them myself, and the looked normal for me. I wonder if we have incompatible versions of Word. If you will give me your e-mail address, I'll convert them to a PDF and e-mail them to you this afternoon. Hopefully, that will solve the problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Dear Literacy Across the Curriculum - I am a Third Grade Teacher in Concord, NH. I LOVE your prompting cards and use them regularly. I am preparing to team teach at a local conference in February. I am writing to ask for your permission to make approximately 20 copies of your materials for the conference. I didn't know how much that would cost and was wondering what you would charge for that. Thank you so much for letting me know and thank you for your wonderful materials.
Sincerely,

you can click on "purchase multiple licenses," which gives you permission to make copies of the document at a rate of $1.25 per copy. I would just request that you purchase as many licenses as copies you will make.
I'd also really appreciate if you mentioned me as the source of the cards in your presentation.
Thank you again for your note. I see in your profile that you teach at a Christian academy; I went to a small Christian school from K-12th grade and have very fond memories of my special teachers there!
Have a great day,
Katrina Groen

Hi Dina,
The picture is actually taken from a commercial in which the phrase "5 Dollar Footlong" is repeated. Almost all my students were very familiar with the commercial, so I would predict that yours would be too. Just in case they're not, you can find the commercial at the following web address:

I'm sorry that you've had trouble downloading the document! I just attempted to download it myself and it worked. What kind of error message are you receiving? I have contacted TpT to let them know of the issue and to see if it's a glitch on their end. In the meantime, if you send me your e-mail address, I'll send you an attachement of the files. I hope that helps!
