Persuasive Writing Can Taste Good!

On our first day back from track out, one of the things we discussed was persuasive writing and how authors try to get you to act or feel a certain way towards a topic. We decided to try writing a persuasive writing piece about why a particular Hershey Kiss flavor is the best. The options were: milk chocolate, caramel, cookies & cream and dark chocolate. As you can imagine, this was a tough decision for our writers. After they completed their taste test, they began writing their persuasive piece to get readers to believe the chocolate they chose is definitely the best! 

We also took a vote and caramel was the class favorite. Tomorrow, we will share our writings and see if any of our opinions can be swayed.
