I don't want to spill the beans but I can't help it. Ashley went the extra mile and illustrated her idiom. What a great illlustration! All of your idiom stories were fun to read!
Next we're headed to persuasive pieces. You are really going to have to put your shoulder to the wheel and do some good thinking! I know you will rise to the occasion!
Boys and girls, I want you to know how proud Ms. Meeler and I are of you. You come in each week and get right on task and are becoming fine bloggers. You find good topics to write about and are writing thoughtful comments that help each other.
On another note, I saw some of the wonderful comments you wrote to Mrs. Halloran on her blog, Counselor's Corner. At last count, I saw 59 comments about her problem with her face. I love J.H. House students! You're the best! You are displaying some of those good character traits that Mrs. Hooper is always writing about on the Principal's Quest. If you get a chance, travel over to those blogs and leave a comment. You can also leave a comment on this blog. I am always glad to hear from you!
Remember your homework....
- You're thinking of three things you feel very strongly about or would like to see changed. These ideas can be about anything in your life from school to home to friends, to neighborhood or to the world!
- Choose one idea and provide specific details. List reasons to support your opinion.
- Think about how you can get your readers' attention and get them interested in your topic. That means you need a good lead!
- How are you going to end your persuasive piece to leave your readers as convinced as possible by your ideas?
Other things to keep in mind:
- audience
- organizations
- big names
- purpose
- definition
- examples
We are at the beginning of this process of learning how to write a good persuasive piece. We're going to have fun as we learn and I have a feeling that you all are going to become persuasive bloggers who make a difference!
As always, I can't wait for my favorite day - Thursdays! I get to blog with the best! Have a great week!
