Persuasive Writing


   We practiced our powers of persuasion last week in writing class.  The children had to pretend that they were a turkey in Farmer Rathbone's barnyard.  Farmer Rathbone was coming out to choose the Thanksgiving turkey.  The children had to convince me that I should not choose them for my Thanksgiving dinner.  We had a lot of skinny, dirty, disease ridden turkeys in the barnyard...or so they said!  Some were quick to give up their friends or siblings.  Such whiners!!!!!  I guess I'll eat chicken for Thanksgiving dinner!
