Persuasive Writing: Final Draft


UN DAY tomorrow - You may where your countries traditional clothes.

Study link 5.6
Final draft for persuasive pieces due in tomorrow by 8am. YOU MUST BRING IN A HARD COPY. - You will not be allowed  to print in school.  - Don not forget to do this.

The Proof Reading sheet is my way of showing you how I am grading this paper. With past assignments, I have been shocked to see that students have ignored the recommendations on the proof reading sheet. If you do not edit your paper using the suggestions given, your paper will not be as strong as it could be. BE WARNED! Take advantage of this tool and FOLLOW the guidelines given.

 Make sure you have a STRONG conclusion - see photo for guidelines

 I was pleased with your work ethic and productivity today... the learning has really begun


Telunas applications will be accepted up to 8.00am Monday morning - NO LATER!

    Mr Buxton, I noticed a spelling error in the blog post! The word that was wrong was wear, you wrote you may where your traditional clothes to school. Wear and where are homophones

    For the counter argument we need to have a question and answer, but is it all in one paragraph.

    +1 H.

    the color code is meant to help not confuse you. Decide what it is you are trying to do - support or elaborate and then color code appropriately - THINK FIRST!

    I think that SOR stands for subject, opinion and reason (1,2,3 reasons)

    Yes it does...

    Mr. Buxton, I was writing my personal essay for RLA in word and I was wondering why this sentence is grammatically incorrect: All of these skills will be carried by this year’s 6th graders throughout their whole lives.

    Thanks!
