Persuasive Writing

We have been learning how to structure a piece of persuasive writing.  We learnt about stating our position in the introduction, putting our three reasons in the main part of our writing and then summing it up in the conclusion.

Here is my first attempt at a piece of persuasive writing:

I think we should have some more science at lunch.

At lunch time at Kumara School we get bored so I am asking if we can do some science.

Firstly science is another learning thing. We do not do enough at Kumara School so we won't be ready for high School.

Secondly science can help you in life because if we get asked some questions we know how to answer them.

Lastly science is heaps of fun and we can do it at home.

Kumara School would appreciate it if you could let us have science at lunchtimes.  It is another learning thing and it can help you in life also it is heaps of fun.
