Writing

We've been working hard over the last week and writing opinion papers. First the students wrote what they thought is the best pet to own. The students organized their reasons before writing about the best pet. Then last Thursday they wrote persuasive letters to their parents about getting a pet. Some of the letters were quite convincing too! On Friday, they wrote me a persuasive letter trying to convince me to get a class pet. Many students wrote about getting fish, a hamster, or even a hedgehog for the classroom. All of those pets are quiet and won't disturb the class as the students mentioned on their letters. However, I'm not planning to get a class pet.
Yesterday was Earth Day so the students wrote about ways they can care for our Earth. Overall, my students are great writers! Their writing has a main idea, supporting details and their voice! Check out some of our writing!
