Last week, we worked on creating a collaborative piece of persuasive writing that would convince me to not give any homework out next week. We started by brainstorming our arguments (there were many!) and then went on to create a persuasive map to help us organize our ideas. It really helped the students see how a persuasive piece should be organized. Then we got to work on our persuasive letter. What can I say, but I was blown away by your powers of persuasion. As such, there will be no homework for this short week :)Click on the letter below to see why I was persuaded!
No homework
Here are my late awesomes, accompanied by my sincerest apologies for my tardiness:
Wednesday's Awesome
Art
What a boring and uninspired life we would lead without it! A great chance to express your creativity and let your imagination run free! AWESOME!
Thursday's Awesome
My favourite website and a great digital scrapbook of all things that inspire me. Looks like it's time to pin some AWESOME!
Friday's Awesome
Earth Hour
Pretty cool to think that over 135 countries now participate in Earth Hour! It shows how great things can be achieved when people come together to work towards a common goal. Lights off for a great cause? AWESOME!
So thank you, thank you, thank you Grade 6s for the awesome letter of persuasion.... my grade 6s used it in class today. We all agree that you are very talented writers! Mr. Fischer (Holy Redeemer)
