  Having a little bit of experience with seventh graders and how nerve-racking it can be to take a standardized test at that age, we decided to create a video that would help students remember how to write a persuasive essay. The video provides the explanation of a simple acronym that they can remember and use during the test. The steps provided are basic components of an effective persuasive essay. They include taking a stand, sticking to the topic, supporting claims with evidence, considering the audience, citing sources, and explaining why. None of the steps included in the video will be new to students; however, seeing the steps in video form, together with what they have already learned previously, will solidify these basics in their mind such that they will be able to feel confident for a test. It is also a great resource for students who want to review for a test before taking it. The video is simple and short, a key feature being that it provides examples of specific parts of the essay so that students can make the connection between the instruction and practice. It would be beneficial for teachers to post the video as a resource for students to go to on their own time, so that time is not wasted during schools hours, reviewing content that they have already taught.
