Sledding Fun!

Last week, the 4th graders were given the task of writing to convince me to let them go sledding.  This was one of a few culminating activities for our persuasive writing unit.  The kiddos were able to use their knowledge of topic sentences, using opinion and convincing language appropriately, and staying on topic to write the paragraph.  After writing our drafts we published these paragraphs on kidblog.org.

They did such a great job, and had so many convincing arguments that I was convinced to let them go sledding on our half day, Wednesday.  Take a look at their persuasive writing below, as well as all the fun we had sledding!
