I LOVE this! We do so much with figurative language in fifth grade. I am going to have my students work on color poems as soon as we finish the figurative language brochures we are working on now. They will benefit greatly from the excellent examples in your packet. ~Stacy (http://new-in-room-202.blogspot.com)

Lessons4Now (TpT Seller) re: Letters That Matter: Teaching Students to Write Persuasively
Hello, fellow TpT seller! I hope it's okay, I pinned your persuasive writing freebie to my main Pinterest board (http://pinterest.com/1grateful1/teaching-having-fun-w-kids/)? When I have time I also try to post a sampling of the pins from that board onto my Lessons4Now Facebook page and Lessons4Now blog. From the look of your store and the quality of this freebie it's clear you're very talented and a great resource! :-)

Thank you. I appreciate the shout outs. As I just wrote on my feedback I just finished teaching this unit again to my fourth graders. We finish our year in two days and I can't wait to start writing again.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching for twenty years in the same school district. I have taught kindergarten through fifth grade at different times during those years.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I think of my teaching style as ecclectic. Every year I learn more about teaching and I gain different tools to reach a diverse population of students.
