Reflection On Persuasive Writing Experience

Posted on by

My persuasive essay was about how littering is bad for the Earth. I learned that it takes more than just finding a problem and writing about it to make a persuasive essay. It takes a lot of writing lessons to make your essay the best that it can be. You have to convince your audience, you have to talk to your audience, and you have to feel really strong about what you are writing about. I also used transition words like, for example, as a result, and I believe.If you want to write a persuasive essay you can’t be wishy washy. Things that wishy washy people say is… “Maybe we should start doing this. And… I think this is a good idea. The most effective thing I did to persuade my audience was talk to them and ask them questions and saying stuff like..   I know what you are thinking but don’t worry.

 

After watching my video I was proud and a little disappointed because I could have looked up more and pointed to myself when I said: “I believe” and “we should” stop doing this and start doing that. I think I persuaded my audience because I used powerful words. For example,  I used phrases such as “I know what you are thinking” and “How would you feel?”I also followed directions. I listened to  directions  and I followed all the charts and tools we had.  I did my best and made my persuasive essay the best it could be. What I could’ve done differently was look up more and add pictures to my board when I got recorded so the audience could understand how I was feeling. I could have named my essay, “We Need To Do Something About Littering.” Thank you for reading this reflection of my persuasive essay. I appreciate your time.

Fairy Garden

My sister and I were playing inside. “I am so bored of playing tag!” I  groaned.

 

“Then what do you want to do?” she asked.

I thought for a minute. Then it hit me. “Let’s make a fairy garden!” I said.

 

“Wow that’s your first great idea ,” Jess said.

 

“Hey I am only five.” I said anoyed

 

Then we went outside. “Wow what a perfect spot.” I said amazed.There was something very unusual about the spot that was not there before.

 

”Wow!” Jess and I said.

 

It was the most beautiful thing we ever saw.There was a tree with purple flowers blooming on it and there were three blue jays singing a wonderful tune. Slowly there were petals falling down the tree and on to the soft grass.

 

“Let’s make it -” but before I could finish Jess was ready to start.Then me and Jess  nodded at the same time.

 

Then out of nowhere she dug up a hole. “Quick go and get your water bottle!” Jess yelled.

 

“Fine.” I said.

 

Then I came back and Jess grabbed the water out of my hands with a big force.

 

”Hey!”I barked

 

“Just relax,” she said sweetly. Then she put some of the water water in the hole.Not to much. I said

 

“Go and get a leaf!” I said.

Then Jess came back with a leaf.

 

“Put it in the water. See?”  

 

“It’s a boat.” I said.

 

“Oh,” Jess said. “Go and get sticks!”

 

Then I came back with five sticks.

 

“Great! Now go get a leaf,” Jess said sweetly again.

 

“Again!” I groaned loudly.

 

“Get a grip,” she said.

 

Then I came back with a green leaf.

 

“Perfect!” Jess said.

 

Then we put the sticks flat on the ground of the fairy garden. Then we put the leaf on top of the sticks.

 

“It’s a bed.” Jess said.

 

“I see.” I said.

 

Then we went to our bran new flower  garden and picked the prettiest flowers we could find. We found a lavender flower and a pink flower and a  purple flower.

 

Then we went to our brand new blueberry bush. We picked the ripest ones we could find. Then we put them in the fairy garden.  Then the sky started to get dark purple I could feel the wind getting harder and harder in my face the crickets started chirping.

So we went inside. I wonder if the fairies are coming. I wondered then, I imagined  fairies hanging out in our new fairy garden. Then I went to the kitchen and enjoyed a nice dinner.
