Writing Challenge Term 3, Week 9

This week we are learning how to write Persuasive texts. Below is a poster to remind you of the structure you should follow when writing to persuade someone of your opinion. Then there is also an example of someone trying to convince you why you should eat breakfast. If you get stuck you can have a look at their example to see what kind of language features they use and how they structure their writing.




Here is your writing challenge.
