One of my favorite persuasive writing activities takes place in February during Adopt a Pet Month. I print pictures of the dogs and cats up for adoption at our local animal shelter and then give one to each student (I give them a choice of dog or cat, but then I chose the picture they get). They pretend they are the animal and then write letter attempting to persuade me to adopt them. We hang them on a bulletin board with hearts and a little dog house I made with the adopt a pet title. It is the cutest thing and the students LOVE it! We've even managed to get a couple of pets adopted with our letters.....that's the best part, showing kids that persuasion can work!!

I guess I should have put "more writing" on my resolutions. It's something I really want to stress this year more than ever.
