Persuasive Writing with the Spider and the Fly

I love October and all of the fun fall and Halloween related activities you can do.  This week we will be working on persuasive writing using The Spider and the Fly. We are going to do some research projects this month on spiders and bats so I thought this would be a nice introduction.



You can read a review of the The Spider and the Fly with some other helpful links from Joanne at Head over Heels for Teaching HERE.

To walk through the writing process, we also will be using a video series from LearnZillion. This series walks through writing a persuasive letter in response to "Little Red Riding Hood."  However, we are going to write in response to The Spider and the Fly. The link for the video series of lessons is HERE.  You could easily do all of the lessons to really scaffold the writing process or you could just pick and choose some of them.  LearnZillion does a nice job reviewing over concepts from previous lessons at the beginning of each video. This does give you the option to do just pick and choose some videos. I believe most of my students need the scaffolding so we are going to go through the entire series of videos.  It may take us a couple weeks instead of just one to get through it all.

What are some of your favorite mentor texts for October?

  22. In the timeless parable of "The Spider and the Fly," we witness the intricate dance of persuasion unfold, as the spider ensnares its unwitting victim with beguiling words and cunning deception. Through its artful manipulation, the spider exemplifies the power of persuasive rhetoric, offering valuable insights into the mechanisms of influence and the importance of critical discernment. As we navigate the labyrinth of persuasion in our own lives, let us heed the cautionary tale of the spider and the fly, lest we fall prey to the seductive allure of honeyed words and false promises.
