Persuasive Letter

In class our teacher told us to write a letter to the principal about the things we want to change in the school. We had to use persuasive writing. My letter is about no homework. Do you want homework?

Persuasive Language

For Persuasive writing we have been learning language features. I have to include these in my letter to the principal. My letter to the principal is about  homework. My argument is that we do not need homework.I will share my letter later.



  • Exaggeration : worse or more important than it really is.
  • Simile : using as or like
  • Repetition : repeating the word over and over
  • Emotion : show what you think about it through your feelings
  • Expert advice : getting research on the topic
  • Rhetorical question : a question that doesn’t need a answer

I am learning my stage six basic facts. This is what I have achieved so far.  I have got one hundred percent in each column. I really enjoy my basic facts.
