Persuasive Writing - I think...


We have been learning to write a persuasive piece of writing. We have to try and convince someone of our opinion. We started our sentences with 'I think..' and then had to try and write three reasons why.

Each day we had a different topic to write about

  • Why I should get a sticker
  • Why I should get a lollipop
  • Which foods are good to eat
  • Hats
We shared our writing by making a recording of what we wrote. We are learning to read smoothly, like we talk.
