   Fifth grade teachers introduce several types of writing formats to their students throughout the year. Most 5th graders will already know the basics of writing a paragraph and short essay. Speech writing is an effective activity that will help kids practice more complex compositions while expressing their opinions on topics that are meaningful to them. Review the process for writing a persuasive essay. Display sample essays on an overhead projector. Explain that a good persuasive speech begins with an organized essay that establishes points to emphasize. Use a graphic organizer to show students how to organize information before they write the speech. If they write an essay first, transfer main points to the organizer. These could be the main points for the focus of the speech. Read-Write-Think.org has an interactive persuasion map students can use online to develop their speech.
