Observe student responses before, during and after reading a text. Ask students what type of text each book is and how they know. Students will have to identify that the book is a persuasive text, articulate what the author is trying to persuade the reader to do or believe, and explain what characteristics within the text helped them determine that the text was persuasive. Student responses can be assessed through observation and progress can be tracked on a checklist or a rubric can be followed for student responses.
