The art persuasion has begun! Students are beginning to write persuasive letters and essays in class. They began with the task of arguing for or against having ugly school uniforms to wear in September, and composed letters of protest to the principal. We will be moving along to persuasive essays which will have heavier social issues....puppy mills, child labour, animal abuse/testing etc. Keep watch for your child bringing home their research topics. They will be required to print information at home on their desired topic in order to provide facts and help sway their audience. Let the debates begin!
