Amanda- My students loved this activity, and they even forgot they had to write because they were so engaged with trying to persuade Santa. Great writing activity that I will be using again!
Kelli- This was a fun Christmas activity that encouraged creativity with writing. I loved that it connected the real life experience of applications.

I wanted something that related to the holiday season, but still focused on writing qualities and related to my student's real life! This application is so fun for me because I get to show students what a real application looks like! Also, I love hearing what reasons they come up with as to why they should be santa!
Much Love,
