Nakia's Persuasive Letter

A little while ago, we completed a unit of study focused on persuasive letters. Each child chose someone to write to - someone they wanted to persuade. We learned how to write clear introductions, support our reasons with compelling details, and write effective conclusions. Nakia wanted elementary schools to have more time for P.E., so she decided to write her state representative. Nakia received a letter back a few days ago! Her representative agreed with Nakia's ideas and pledged to pursue legislation that would help South Carolina kids live a healthy lifestyle. Nakia's letter has made a difference! Way to go, Nakia!
