Hey, how do I download it?
This is a warmer, and there is nothing to download. It's just an idea for your lesson, not a worksheet.
Begin the class by having students choose a side on some “issue,” like “Which is better, cats or dogs?” Then teach them some language of persuasion, as necessary: “I think cats are better because…“or “In my opinion, dogs are a better choice for pets because….” Students should then go around the room and attempt to persuade someone to their own point of view. They must also listen to other’s arguments. When a student has persuaded someone, he or she may sit down.
This is good introduction to the use of the language of art of persuasion.
