How can Charlie Chaplin help students to become persuasive and voice their emotions?
This lesson can be adapted to teach a variety of writing styles. Here, we will be looking at how it can help students to create a piece of persuasive writing, but in the past I have changed it to teach descriptive, narrative and argumentative styles.
It can also be used at the same time to teach different text types with just a few quick and easy changes. Play around with the general ideas found outlined below and see what you can come up with!
