Writing: Our next writing project is a persusive essay in the form of a letter. Each student will select an issue facing our country and will share their ideas on how to improve the issue. This persuasive letter is due Wednesday, February 27. Today, we reviewed American values, such as justice, patriotism, equality, liberty, etc. These values can serve as details to use to persuade the readers about an idea.
