Journal Writing: Persuasive

Some of you have expressed an interest in writing Mr. Gill as to being able to have iPod Friday's continued in our classroom. This will be great practice in writing a persuasive letter in something that you are very passionate about.

Please keep that "tone" in your letter. You need to remember to express your thoughts, beliefs, arguments for/against in a very respectful tone. Please include the 5 paragraph rule:

Hook
Reason 1
Reason 2
Reason 3
Conclusion

If need be - think and write it in your Power Levels - elaborate on each of your reasons.
