Persuasive Writing

This term we have been learning to write persuasive arguments.  Here are a few of the children's arguments.  Have they been able to persuade you to think differently?

HELMETS SHOULD BE WORN WHEN RIDING SCOOTERS

 I believe it is important to wear helmets.

You should wear a helmet so you don’t damage your brain. If you damage your brain you can’t move because the brain helps you work. 

If you wear a helmet you will not damage your brain.

If you hit your head and your legs they might break. You can heal            

broken legs but not a broken brain.

So you need to a helmet so you don’t bump your head.

Children should be in bed by 7 o’clock

I do not agree because I believe that children should not go to bed by 7 

o’clock because if you are in bed by 7’o clock you can’t do as many things. 

If you are 10 or over you can’t stay up for long. In summer you can’t play outside in the heat and

you can’t watch you favourite shows on tv.

If you come home from a late sport you need time to relax. If you have a party after 7 o’clock you can’t go to it.  If you  go to bed by 7’o clock you might get up too early and annoy your parents.

As you can see I’ve shown you some good reasons why children should not go to bed by 7’o clock.

Helmets should be worn when riding scooters

Thesis:  I believe that children should be wearing scooter helmets because if you fall off the scooter onto concrete you will hurt your skull and sometimes break it! 

Always wear helmets and shin pads while riding scooters because your brain controls your body and that is how you move and get smart. If you break one brain, sorry, but you can’t fix it.

If you be safe with your very own scooter, guess what? you’ll stay ALIVE!!!!

Should Helmets be worn when riding scooters?

I believe helmets should be worn when riding a scooter because:

1. If you hurt your brain it is likely for you to be not smart.

   2. The most important part of your body is your brain, if it gets hurt you could forget how to walk and think.

3. You only have one brain so take good care of it!

Wear a helmet and be safe!!

Should helmets be worn when riding scooters?

I think we should not wear helmets because they will slow you down because of the weight.  If you hit your head it is not so bad because you will get very nicely treated at the hospital. At the hospital you could get ice crem, juice and lollies. You could sleep all day and grow and you can watch tv.

By not wearing a helmet you can take days off school. You will not have to do  to your homework. You could be very lazy. You could probably get what ever you wanted. 

Now I have proved that you should not wear helmets while riding scooters.
