Students should have had previous practice in developing a persuasive argument. Students need practice in skimming and searching written text for information. The lesson page gives a brief overview of the project with links to a variety of pages that are used by students. Students write email notes directly to community members to ask certain questions. Students use these websites to find and record data that they will use to persuade the Power Rangers to come to our community.
Students use email and the web extensively.
They are also required to give a presentation in some electronic form. Students will use English to interact in the classroom. Students will use the appropriate language variety, register, and genre according to audience, purpose, and setting. Describe the characteristics of our community. Indicate ways in which people in the community honor people and their skills through special events.
