Teaching Argument / Persuasion Papers With Candy PowerPoint
This is an activity, guided with a PowerPoint presentation, that helps students understand what goes into an argument/persuasive essay. I've been using this activity with college freshmen, but I think it would work well for middle and high school, too.
All you need is enough bags of candy for each group. I usually divide the class of 20 students into two groups, but it could work with smaller groups as well.
My students LOVE this activity, and they get candy!

Visual Rhetoric and Analysis PowerPoint
This is a PowerPoint that supports a lecture and guides in-class writing activities for my freshman composition classes. It doesn't last an entire class period for me, so I spend the rest of the class leading discussions about images and videos. This PowerPoint is a good introduction to these kinds of discussions.

Freshman English Composition Course Outline
This outline has worked well for my freshman English classes at the college level, but high school teachers may get some ideas from it, too. I've included basic descriptions of the assignments that I put in the syllabus along with the assignment sheets that I copy and give to my students.
If you're like me, you were thrust into teaching comp without much (or any) instruction or guidance. I put this packet together to help people design a class when they just don't know where to
