      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Selected Lessons in Persuasion

Collection Properties

Summary: The arc of lessons comes from a high school unit, Persuasion: Speaking Out. A writing team developed the unit for teachers and students in a California school district. It exemplifies content-rich knowledge development with attention to reading, writing, talking and thinking at every step of students’ learning about the ideas and methods of persuasive speech texts. We suggest that readers study all four lessons to follow the progression of instruction. The progression, which includes embedded scaffolding for English learners, lives out the unit’s design features, derived from key research on cognitive apprenticeship, study of literature, and reading comprehension. Development supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
