Persuasive Writing
As Paige, Maddie, and Anna mature as
writers, it's important to give them the opportunity to write using a variety
of formats. Persuasive writing helps the girls formulate specific reasons
for their opinions, and provides an opportunity to research facts related
to their opinions. As they develop an understanding of how writing can
influence or change another's thoughts or actions, they can begin to understand
the persuasive nature of the marketing they are exposed to through television,
the Internet, and other media.
Let's see if they
have succeeded with their powers of persuasion.

Pssst! Hey over here! Do you want to put some fun right in the
middle of your week? Well, I have the perfect idea for taking the boring right
out of your Monday through Friday. It’s
called AWANA. No, it’s not an Indian
tribe; it’s a fun and exciting club for kids that meets every Wednesday. You can meet new friends, learn more about
God, and even earn awards doing all of this.
In Awana it is fun to learn
about God every week. We get to hear
exciting Bible stores and even act out plays.
We also learn Bible verses and study God’s Word in a fun way.
There are a lot of ways to meet
new friends. One way is during game
time. Each clubber joins a team and has
fun playing awesome games. After games
we break into small groups with fun leaders and learn Bible verses.
Last,
but not least, at Awana we have fun getting awards. At the beginning of the year each clubber
earns a shirt. Then you earn pins and patches for each group of verses, called
sections, you learn. The more verses you
learn, the more awards you receive. Then
at the end of the year you get awards like trophies, participation certificates
and other awards.
Of course you can learn
about God in a lot of places. You can
also meet new friends in different places. And other clubs do pass out awards. But at Awana, you can find all three in one
location. If you have any questions
about times or how to get there, visit the website www.awana4you.com. I would love to meet you
at Awana on Wednesday night.
So . . . were you persuaded?
