Persuasive Letter Assignment
The documents and links below all relate to the summative persuasive letter assignment that was inspired by our reading of Tears of a Tiger by Sharon Draper. The purpose of the persuasive letter is to identify a pressing teen issue, research that issue, and craft a persuasive argument to a staff member of Owen Valley High School proposing a solution or possible action to help teens with the selected problem. Students will experiment with using logical, emotional, and ethical appeals to persuade an audience with the help of research. In addition to the documents available on this home page, links to outside resources related to each teen issue can be found by clicking the tabs above.
