Persuasive Writing - I Wanna

In Ruma Tahi we have been learning how to structure a letter to persuade. 
We read the book I Wanna Iguana by Karen Orloff and identified modal verbs and adverbs.
We also explored how to hook our reader in, by using either a rhetorical question, painting a picture or providing a flashback.  Click on the links to read our "I Wanna" letters.
