Persuasive Letters- Student Models

Congratulations!  You have completed your research on your topic and gathered actual data from your surveys.  Furthermore, you have identified three claims and have evidence to back them up.  What's next?  It's time to write your letter.  So...who are you writing to?  Who is your audience?  remember, you are actually going to send these letters and hopefully persuade the recipient to change their views on your topic.  Who knows, you might be chewing gum in class soon!  Or playing dodge ball in gym class this spring.  Below you can read three student examples of persuasive letters.  You can also view the PowerPoint on how to write a powerful lead.
