I used many of the pages in this book as is, however I had to retype many because the examples were outdated. There are references to floppy disks! My 8th grade students had never heard of them. Overall this book did a nice job of teaching how to argue/defend any side of an argument and it also helped students frame their essays.Product details

Twisting Arms Teaching Students How to Write to Persuade Dawn DiPrince Books Reviews
Twisting Arms is an excellent source for teaching middle school students to write a thesis statement and had many resources on how to teach rebuttal and what is an effective piece of evidence not just "Because you Said So!" Make sure you check out the list of 75 creative topics that are listed for the kids to choose from to write. they will want to write more than one paper. No twisting their arms!
Teaching students, let alone middle school students, to write the persuasive essay has always been challenging for me and frankly, one that I loathed to teach because it was difficult to present it in such a way that reached the diverse learners in my room. However, this resource book has been my saving grace. It is packed with fantastic & fun ideas and breaks it down to a level that my middle school students could understand...all of them (and so many of them felt successful)! I had such an enjoyable time this past year teaching the persuasive with this book that I actually look forward to teaching it again (with Twisting Arms right by my side). If you are a middle school teacher, I highly encourage you to buy this book. Now, I wish the same author would come out with a resource book for the narrative and response to literature.
This resource book is packed with ideas to teach the persuasive essay. Although I feel the lessons are geared towards middle school and the activities will be a little over our heads, the ideas are brilliant and I am planning on dissecting them to fit my student's levels. I love the analogy of "The Skeleton" and how we need to know the bare bones before we pack the meat into our argument. This was one area my students needed help on last year and is so important when we write for the state tests. No one wants to think out their thoughts before they put the pencil on the paper.
The layout for the book is very handy. Depending on where you need help you can pick out a section to add to your lesson or just start from the beginning of the book and move through out the entire writing process. I like the tidbits of information splashed here and there to add to the progression of writing.
I will also implement the lessons of persuasion to my writing unit next fall. The lesson "Art and Persuasion," demonstrates using different forms of art as expression of protest, will be one of the first I will use.
I teach persuasive writing and I was hoping this would give me a few ideas, but I was disappointed. I didn't think it was written all that well and it didn't really give me any new material. It probably would help some, but this just isn't my style.
Everything that Cottonwood Press publishes is GREAT! Twisting Arms is no exception. I use the book for great alternative ideas for teaching persuasive. My students love the topics and use them as opposed to their own. Imagine that!
I used many of the pages in this book as is, however I had to retype many because the examples were outdated. There are references to floppy disks! My 8th grade students had never heard of them. Overall this book did a nice job of teaching how to argue/defend any side of an argument and it also helped students frame their essays.
