This week we will be arguing....


our position on a point. This is called a persuasive argument. We will learn all about this technique and then present our own persuasive argument to the class. This will be a 4 day lesson and we will be spending the whole class period on it so...no spelling this week.

Remember we have a Unit 1 test on Tuesday. Study, study, study!!!

The intention of Persuasive Writing is to influence the reader to change the way he or she thinks or acts. The writer tries to convince the reader through argument or advice to believe or do as the writer thinks should be believed or done. In persuasive writing, the author states and supports opinion and then tries to get the reader to agree of take an action.
