Pleading a Cause - Persuasive Writing

This week I wrote my last practice of my Persuasive Writing before our test. We read the story of the Minotaur. Then we write a note to king Minos about why the youths should live.

Pleading a Cause - Persuasive Writing       

Pretend you are the King of Athens.  Write a letter to King Minos, pleading for the lives of the youths who are to be fed to the Minotaur.

Give at least 3 reasons why their lives should be spared.

Remember to write a conclusion at the end to link your reasons together.

Dear King Minos,

I am writing to you about the fate of the nine doomed youths.  I plead for their release on the grounds that:

My first reason why the youths should stay alive is they would have a long life ahead of them and they are the future of us .

My second reason is why blame the youths because your son died at Athens.

My third and final reason is you have a daughter you should be caring for, so why would you use them.

The three reasons including the future of our youths, your son dying in my kingdom are not  good enough reasons to kill the youths and you have a daughter so why use our youths.     

Yours faithfully,

King of Athens

Why Maui - A Great Mythical Hero.

Kia ora
We have been learning about myths and legends. We had to write an argument to say why Maui is a great, mythical hero.  Here is mine.

Name: Charlie

Introduction: I believe that Maui is a great mythical hero.

Reason 1: Firstly, I think Maui is a great mythical hero because he was strong enough to pull up the North Island of New Zealand.

Reason 2: My next reason is he was a great leader of his brothers and he took them on amazing adventures including one where they captured the sun.

Reason 3: Finally my last reason,some of his tools had magic powers. He used his magical fish hook to catch the North island.

Conclusion: So, I'm sure you will agree that Maui was an amazing mythical hero.   He had super-human strength, he could do magic and he was a great leader.
