Persuasive Writing (a few samples)

Less Homework by Dustyn MacKinnon

I think that we get too much homework. We already have to

work six hours a day at school and then we have to come home

and do more work. When we do have homework, not everyone

has time to come home and do it. Kids have a lot of after school

activities. Kids should have time to go outside and play and not

have to worry about their homework. Homework usually stresses

kids out and makes them hate homework even more. Homework

keeps kids up too late, then they aren't alert for school the next

day . These are my reasons of why there shouldn't be homework.

No Smoking by Mitchell Casella

Smoking should be banned everywhere because it is

dangerous and it can kill people. Smoking harms nearly

every organ in your body. Some of these harmful effects

are immediate.  For some people, smoking is hard to

stop because you get addicted. You get addicted because

of a drug in the tobacco called nicotine. There have been

over 7,000 bad chemicals identified in secondhand

smoking. That is not fair to non smokers. Over 250 of the

chemicals are known to damage your health. For

example, it can cause lung cancer.

Let Them Play Football by Nick Cote

Have you ever worried about your kids

playing football? Well don't worry any more! Football has

changed over the years. In football, they have helmets

you can buy that when you're about to hit get an airbag

goes off in your helmet. It might sound crazy but it's true!

Football is also good for keeping in shape. Football is a

tough sport, but it makes your kid stronger. Most parents

don't want there children to play football

because concussions are talked about in the news a

lot. Kids could possibly get a concussion on the


playground. So don't worry let your kids play football!

Get Paid for Good Grades by Godly Suffrant

I think that kids who go to Francis Wyman Elementary should get paid for good grades. Throughout the year, kids work hard and study for test.  Kids also try to be as good as they can in order to get good grades. As a part of kid’s getting paid for good grades, they should also remember to bring in their homework, listen, follow directions, and do what the teacher asks. I know that these are some good reasons for kids to get paid for their good grades.
