Final Draft: Persuasive Essay
Due:
Tuesday, February 20, 2024
There is no spelling homework or test this week.
You have been working on a persuasive essay. Remember: Persuasive writing is different from opinion writing because you are not just saying what you think, but you are trying to CONVINCE the reader to agree with you.
Today, you will do a quick-write using the assignment in Google Classroom. You will respond to the following prompt:
Homework SHOULD be assigned to 5th graders over spring break. OR
Homework SHOULD NOT be assigned to 5th graders over spring break.
Make sure that you have the following elements in your essay:
Introduction Paragraph
Thesis Statement: Argument + Reason 1 + Reason 2+ Reason 3.
3 body paragraphs: 1 paragraph for each reason
Conclusion paragraph.
This is just a rough draft, and it does not have to be perfect. Your teacher wants to see that you can come up with your own reasons and write persuasively.
