Persuasuve Letter

The 6th grade students received this prompt in Language Arts class today. "Have you ever asked your parents to buy you something, take you somewhere, or let you do something and their answer was, “NO!”? Well, here's your chance to make your case!"
The students will be writing a letter to their parents, grandparents, or guardian. Within this letter they must include the following components:
1. State your claim
2. Give three reasons
3. Support each reason twice
4. Use one strategy of persuasion (Example: ethos)
5. Use three transitions
6. Address 3 counter-arguments
7. Use language suitable for your audience
