Are you looking for a writing activity for students to complete after reading Tuck Everlasting? This differentiated persuasive writing unit requires students to write a letter to Winnie Foster to convince her to either live forever or continue living a normal life. Lesson Outline, teacher models, rubrics, and writing samples have been included to help both teacher and students.
The following files are included in this unit:
1. Tuck Everlasting Viewing Guide: Students identify problems that Winnie Foster encounters during the film and her decision/solution to the problems, and are given an opportunity to agree with Winnie’s decision or to offer a better alternative.
2. Tuck Everlasting Cover Sheet: This cover sheet contains the writing topic, task descriptions, and all other important information that students need before beginning their writing task.
3. Tuck Everlasting PEEL Organizer: Students use the PEEL pre-writing organizer to organize their information. This strategy has worked extremely well with my lower performing students. There is also a teacher model that uses Bella from Twilight.
4. Tuck Everlasting Teacher Model: A teacher model letter to Bella from Twilight has been included to show students what a high quality letter looks like. The letter has also been annotated to identify the critical pieces of the writing activity.
5. Tuck Everlasting Final Draft/Alternate Rubric: Students will write the final drafts of their letters on this worksheet. Also provided is an alternative rubric to the one on the cover sheet.
6. Tuck Everlasting Presentation: This 99 slide presentation includes several EDITABLE slides and allow the teacher to display the important lesson information for students to see and follow along with during the unit.
