This strategy puts the ideas in terms that students can relate to. The meat is already there, but you will need: the top bun=topic sentence, lettuce=supporting sentence #1, cheese=supporting sentence #2, tomato=supporting sentence #3, and finally the bottom bun=the conclusion. Without all of these pieces, we will not have a successful paragraph or hamburger!

For example, writing about whether or not students should be allowed to play video games in school will allow students to try to persuade the reader. With a persuasive writing piece, students can practice finding references and research to back up their opinion. This strategy is a great way to reinforce engagement in writing.
