What your child will learn: Persuasive Writing: Convince Me!

Start with a clear CLAIM: 'Our school should start recycling in every classroom.'
Give 3 REASONS, each backed by an example or fact: reasons are the muscles of your argument.
Address the other side: 'Some say bins cost money, but...'. It makes YOU look fair and smart.
End with a call to action: tell readers exactly what to do next.
