Dear Parents,
The students are writing a persuasive writing assignment about a pumpkin.They are convincing me on why no one should choose them as their pumpkin. Feel free to ask your child about this tonight. Here is a sample of one that is complete:
One cold, brisk, sunny morning, I peacefully sat on a field of pumpkins near the Symons Valley Ranch. I sat up straight, feeling the freezing cold breeze against my skin. My bottom felt the tickly grass blowing against me. I saw a hole bunch of pumpkins getting picked up. For these few days I was petrified.
Soon I felt steps through the ground… I saw people walking towards me… I was so scared. Oh, phew it was just the pumpkin beside me. I felt more footsteps. Except this time, the footsteps were coming for me! The first thought that shot to my guts was ”don’t choose ME!” Why me? First of all I am too big. It would be hard to get all of my guts out and I will block your porch and no one will be able to get to your door. Second of all I am scratched and I am NOT pretty.! Also every one would see me and make fun of you for your bad pumpkin. Last of all when you go to carve me you will get messy. You could stain your clothes and you would be the person with the stained shirt. You could spill on the table or the floor and it would be a big mess to clean up!
Indeed you should NOT choose me because I am too big, I am scratched and you will get messy.
