Persuasive Writing

Why grade 4 should be allowed on the OJCS teams.

I really want the grade fours to be allowed on the sports teams because I really like to play sports.

Point 1: We Would learn how to cooperate and be happier.

We would be way happier because we would get to play with our friends. We would also get to play sports that we like. We would have a lot of fun playing with our friends the sports that we like. It would also help us learn how to be cooperative, so we would learn how to make our friends happy. For example: If someone was sad because they had let in a lot of goals, let them go out of the net. From that you would have learned that they might not like being in the net, or maybe they just don’t like letting in goals, letting in goals might make them feel like they are not good at the sport.

 

Point 2: We would get more exercise.

We would run a lot more and it would be like Physical Education, except playing one sport the whole time. You might say we get a lot of gym time already. But we really don’t. 3periods a week is not a lot, even if most teachers think it is. Sure recess is like gym but there are also clubs that take away our recess, and we the clubs but it still takes away recess. And recess is only 20 minutes.

 

Point 3: The teachers would get more break times.

The more we had tournaments the more the teachers would get breaks. And teachers (probably) like breaks. If they don’t, they should. My class does not behave so well so it would encourage us to behave. Proof that we don’t behave is that teachers say that Kindergarten behaves better than us, and they have a bigger class. I really hope that my grade can be on teams.

Thanks.

One thought on “Persuasive Writing”

  1. Welcome to the OJCS Blogosphere!

    I think this is a pretty persuasive and I think I am the one who it is attended to persuade!

    🙂

    I think your first point is the most persuasive as there are lots of positive benefits to participating in team sports. One challenge is that OJCS doesn’t make all the rules. Many of our teams compete in the local league for private schools, so to really compete, we’d have to persuade other schools as well.

    But maybe we can start with something smaller…hmmm…

    …stay tuned!

    Keep on blogging!
