Persuasive Parent Letter

This week we have been working on persuasive letters to parents. Students are suppose to consider something they want that their parents will not allow and attempt to persuade them through a letter. The purpose of the assignment is for students to understand the "know your audience" aspect of persuasive writing. Students should have their parent/guardian read the letters. Parents should mark a "check" next to sentences they think are persuasive and an "x" next to sentences they do not think are persuasive. Students understand it is their responsibility to make sure their parent reads the letter, marks and signs it.

Requirements

-Quick Write "Know your audience"
-Brain Storm "T" chart
-Rough Draft with Peer Edits
-Final Draft
       -correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation
       -parent signature and "x" or "check" marks (see above)
       -should demonstrate understanding of "know your audience"

The above requirements are due in class on Monday, March 17.

This post is simply a reminder to have your parents read the letter over the weekend. Students should have completed the other requirements this week in class.
