In Year Three Blue, we have been diving into persuasive writing!
We have been exploring the structure of persuasive texts and the language features and devices that contribute to successful writing.
Our current persuasive topic is ‘Would you rather a dog or a cat as a pet?’ We are passionate and enthusiastic about sharing our opinions and ideas for both the dogs and cats ‘teams’ (Ayaan even made his very own cat statue decoration at home!).
We have been making cat and dog masks in class and are preparing to have a respectful debate by drafting some of our convincing arguments for each pet choice.
Some our convincing reasons include:
‘Cats don’t make a lot of mess. Dogs shed their hair and leave hair everywhere! Also, dogs might jump into water and make a mess everywhere. A cat won’t do that!’ – Zoya
‘Dogs are super fluffy. You can cuddle with them.’ – Thomas
‘Cats are not lazy…they actually play a lot! Also, they take showers on their own.’ – Veronika
‘Dogs are better because they can do tricks!’ – Sofia
‘Dogs don’t sleep all day. They are more playful than cats.’ – Aidan
We love voicing our opinions in Three Blue and we think persuasive writing is totally PAWesome!
