NCTE+3.2.4

**NCTE Standard 3.2.4**

//"Engages students in activities that provide opportunities for demonstrating their skills in writing, speaking, and creating visual images for a variety of audiences and purposes."//

For this standard, I have an activity that allows students to demonstrate their writing and speaking skills in groups. Groups are given an argument that they must persuade their classmates to side with. Each group has 20 minutes to record ideas in support of their argument, then the group is given three minutes to orally present their argument to the class.

A future follow-up lesson could also allow for students to demonstrate their ability to create visual images in the form of propaganda posters that further persuade their arguments.
