Persuasive writing.

 Dear Ms Farr, this is Katie and I am going to be telling you why whenua should have a class pet. I hope by the end of this you agree with me too and potentially get one for whenua. I think we should get one because it gives students  responsibility and something to look after.

It will bring a new way of learning and more experiences to have. We could get like a hamster or something then we can watch it spin on it`s wheel and it would bring a sense of humour. Our class pet would be such good friends with us and we would agree with the name that is picked. If we have one maybe even you could pick it`s name like Harriet,Bob or even Junior.

The benefits of having a class pet are that it might make us focus more and have less chats and if that happens you could let it out of it`s cage for us to play with it. We could have a funeral when it sadly passes away to heaven. The responsibility that is taken will lead to being a kind and caring person. Other classes might kindly take our class pet  if we go away on camp or class trips, that will also improve responsibility for other classes too. If you choose the name no one will fight over it.

My last argument is about why we should have one. Getting a class pet would be fun because we can dress it up in little pet clothes like for Halloween,Christmas,Easter and definitely the pets birthday. Each day one person should be responsible for looking after it like, cleaning its tank or cage giving it fresh water and hay or fresh tank water giving it food and everything like that. If we let it out of its cage we would have to shut all the windows and doors.

In conclusion I believe it would be fun to surprise us with one and just have one. Have a think about it, could we have one, your decision.

Yours sincerely 

Katie

Caption: I think 2 weeks ago we started doing persuasive writing we started by picking a topic from a site that Ms Farr shared with us, then we started writing it in our books. Later on we got to pick our own topic, I chose having a class pet. I just started writing down what I already knew then did a bit of research like what is the best class pet to have and stuff like that. I hope you enjoy and agree with me. Bye.
