I am currently teaching a persuasive letter unit. One of the kids wrote an eloquent and poignant letter trying to persuade her parent not to go out of town. She expressed her loneliness and feelings of isolation, her desolation from looking at the empty space where her parent would sit. After she finished reading her letter during our writing share time, the class was quite moved. And then several kids asked to use some of her phrasing; they want to persuade their parents not to go out of town too!
