My historical writing project began with lessons focused on writing proper persuasive essays. I used the San Marcos writing binder lessons to first write persuasive essays that were not related to history. After two non-history essays and a jigsaw teaching of the three colonial regions, I had the students begin their historical persuasive essays.





We started with a discussion and listing the pros and cons of each region.



The students then tried to persuade a person from England with a persuasive essay.

The last part was to make an advertisement for their region.
