Persuade Me! A Nestorian Rap

© Rudolph 2009

It’s time to write a strong essay.

The opposition you will mince.

It’s time to say what you want to say.

It’s time for you to convince.

The readers that read what you write

need to end up thinking that you are right.

So, are you ready to put up a fight?

For the might of right.

Yes, the might of right.

Now, you know you’re right

Now, you know you’re bright.

 

In the first paragraph

Oh, what do we do?

Let’s introduce the topic

in an anecdotal way.

Tell a story that illustrates

what you want to say.

Say this and that happened to them

and this is not fair.

Make them feel so sorry for them

that they want to say a prayer.

At the end of the first paragraph

state your proposition

This is your thesis statement

that states your position

about whether you are for or against

or against or for

the issue you are addressing

and like a lion you must roar.

 

Chorus

Persuade me!

Persuade me!

Persuade me!

Persuade me!

 

In the second paragraph

Oh, what do we do?

Now it’s time to write

about your reason that is second best

and remember to write

with a lot of zest.

This is a vigorous struggle.

It is a contest.

So, attest and protest.

This is more than just a request

Your readers must be impressed.

 

Chorus

 

In the third paragraph

Oh, what do we do?

Now it’s time to admit

There are others that disagree

Explain what they’re thinking

But you don’t agree

refute the opposition

try to get them to see

that if you are right

then they can’t possibly be

seeing things straight

but you have the key

that unlocks the truth

they need to understand your plea.

 

Chorus

 

In the fourth paragraph

Oh, what do we do?

Now it is time to write

about your reason that is the best.

Make your strongest argument

Make sure it is stressed

in the mind of the reader

until it can’t be second guessed

 

Chorus

 

In the fifth paragraph

Oh, what do we do?

Now it is time to wrap it up

And write your conclusion

Restate your position

Put an end to their delusion

Call them to action

So, there is no more confusion

Tell them what they need to do

to set things straight

Now you’ve completed your task,

and there is no more debate.

 

Chorus

Science Vocabulary Desk Boy Loves Studying Vocabulary!

Mastering science vocabulary is crucial for students in grades K-8 to excel in their science education and lays the foundation for understanding complex concepts and communicating effectively about scientific phenomena. To enhance their proficiency in science terminology, students can engage in various activities such as completing science vocabulary crosswords, word searches, and quizzes. Crossword puzzles offer an interactive and engaging way for students to reinforce their understanding of science vocabulary. By filling in the blanks with the correct terms, students actively recall and apply the meanings of scientific terms, promoting retention and comprehension. Word searches provide another enjoyable method for students to familiarize themselves with science vocabulary. Searching for terms horizontally, vertically, and diagonally within a grid encourages visual recognition of words and reinforces spelling. Quizzes serve as valuable assessment tools to gauge students’ grasp of science vocabulary. By regularly engaging in science vocabulary activities such as crosswords, word searches, and quizzes, students can develop a robust scientific vocabulary that will benefit them throughout their academic journey and beyond. These activities not only enhance students’ comprehension of science concepts but also improve their ability to communicate effectively about scientific topics. Moreover, the interactive nature of these activities makes learning enjoyable and encourages active participation in the learning process.
