Have students place the questions on the board and then address each of them as a class. With each question, the teacher ought to first allow 2-3 minutes of personal reflection, then 2-3 minutes of group discussion, and then have the reporters share, with the class, what their group decided upon. The teacher should clear up any inaccuracies or misconceptions.

The clusters will be sporadically placed about the room, allowing for open space and relaxed setting. This will be an effective tool during revision and evaluation exercises. Throughout this lesson students will understand that a good argument has an applicable purpose. This is vital to student’s development as writers as there is fine line between arguing because of belief and arguing out of compulsion. This is also important as students grow into their own individual passions and beliefs. Often times any sort of conviction can call for an individual to take a stand on a specific issue and often times there will be a strong opposition, and in order for students to communicate their beliefs it is important that they understand how to communicate an argument that translates such a passion to his/her audience. The hook will directly address this issue as students will view Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. After viewing a short expert from the clip students will be asked a variety of questions that cause them to think deeper about Dr. Kings convictions and the teacher will point out that everything they write can easily have a similar affect. If what student's write is written well enough, and with enough conviction it can begin movements that could potentially influence the entire world. This particular lesson will meet the common core standard "//Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revision, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience,"// <span class="apple-converted-space" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Production and Distribution of writing because it's entire purpose is to define what is significant about a piece and how it could potentially influence it's audience. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Where, Why, What, Hook, Tailors: ** Visual/Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Verbal, Logical/Mathematical, Naturalist. ** ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> **__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Section two: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will know how to self-analyze, the effect of argument on an audience and the role that they play in communicating their ideas to them. The teacher will facilitate a round robin activity. In this activity students will each place a question they have, concerning perspective and purpose, on a sticky note and place it on the board. The teacher will then read the questions to the class and the class will spend 2-3 minutes individually analyzing the question and trying to formulate a potential answer. After the time of self-reflection, in groups of 4, students will discuss the potential answer with one another for approximately 2-3 minutes. One student will share their groups answer with the class, and the teacher will clean up any un-addressed answers. Students will also fill out a problem/solution graphic organizer for one for one of their selected works; outlining any defined problems and the solutions that author introduces. They will turn this into the teacher for assessment, and the teacher will respond back with guided comments. Throughout this process the student’s observations will be challenged and they will be forced to rethink their initial interpretation of the author’s purpose, and to really dig deep into interpreting the author’s voice. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> **Equip, Explore Rethink, Revise, Tailors: Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Verbal, Logical/Mathematical, Verbal.** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> ** Section Three: ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be able to relate and identify an applicable purpose within their arguments and within the arguments of others. Student's will read, listen, or watch five different pieces that define a specific purpose, students will then respond to each article individually with blog entries. In these blog entries students ought to state the authors defined problem, his proposed solution, and the student's reaction to author’s perspective on the issue. This will get students to analyze and think about how other writers influence their audience, and will force students to go deeper into the author’s desired purpose. Their first blog will be guided through the use of a graphic organizer and they will turn in their observations so that the teacher can assess their understanding. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> **Explore, Experience, Rethink, Revise, Refine, Tailors: Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Logical/Mathematical.** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> **__ Section Four: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">As soon as students are finished with their blog entries they will go and read what other students have written. They will be required to respond to their peers in the comments block beneath the blog. Students will be reminded to try and comment on a blog that has not yet been commented on. The purpose of this is for students to act as peer assessors; their feedback will help them to build up their own understandings as well as building up their peers understandings. The teacher will also assess students understanding, providing similar comments on at least one of each student’s blog entries. The students will be assessed based on the final rubric and will receive a final grade that portrays their mastery of the lesson. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> **Evaluate, Tailors: Intrapersonal, interpersonal, Logical/Mathematical.** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> **__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Content Notes __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Self-analysis **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">: [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Self-analysis means an evaluation of one's own thoughts and behaviors”.

We automatically adjust our speech to be sure we are communicating our message. Many writers don't make those same adjustments when they write to different audiences, usually because they don't take the time to think about who will be reading what they write. To be sure that we communicate clearly in writing, we need to adjust our message--how we say to and what information we include--by recognizing that different readers can best understand different messages.” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> “W hen we talk to someone face-to-face, we always know just who we're talking to. We automatically adjust our speech to be sure we communicate our message. For instance, when we talk to three-year olds, we shorten sentences and use simpler words. When we talk to college professors, we use longer sentences and more formal language. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> “In short, we change what we say because we know our //audience//. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Interestingly, many writers don’t make the same adjustments when they write to different audiences, usually because they don’t take the time to think about who will be reading what they write.

As you think about writing your letter to //The Collegian//, you’ll need to think not only about audience but also about //**why**// you are writing to those readers. Do you want simply to tell your story? Do you want to argue directly for a change in policy? Do you want to raise fellow students’ consciousness about a problem so that the student senate will eventually take up the issue? Depending on your goal, you might write a narrative, an argument, or a causal analysis. Which approach is most likely to be effective with your readers? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Writers need to consider //both audience and purpose// in writing because the two elements affect the paper so significantly, and decisions about one will affect the other” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> **Purpose:** [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> “The first question for any writer should be, "Why am I writing?" "What is my goal or my purpose for writing?" For many writing contexts, your immediate purpose may be to complete an assignment or get a good grade.

In order to communicate successfully to your audience, understanding your purpose for writing will make you a better writer.” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> “A ll readers have expectations.

Perhaps you are explaining your topic when you really should be convincing readers to see your point. Writers and readers may approach a topic with conflicting purposes.
