We have been spending the last few weeks looking at how to use persuasive words to write letters to support individual opinions. After exploring how to format a strong argument for particular audiences, the students explored how persuasion is used in advertising and decided to create an advertisement of their own.  
Next it was time to create a piece of sports equipment with technology for the future. The students had to decide what kind of improvements would interest people, and how to improve on equipment that already exists. I was very impressed with how realistic the new technology was and could see it being the next level of sports equipment for the future!

​I love when my students make connections about our unit when they are out of the classroom. Thank you to one of the students who made the connection that her library book was an excellent example of how technology has changed over time! We all really enjoyed reading the super cute story, maybe we will read "The Lonely Typewriter" next!
