What Teachers Are Saying About This Thanksgiving Persuasive Writing Assignment:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is perfect for a quick writing assignment that I know my current group of 7th graders will get carried away with! Thank you for giving me a writing assignment to add in as the trimester comes to a close. Love it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students LOVED this! We had a competition and they all read their letters out loud at the end of class. They got very invested - researched turkey facts, used a thesaurus for a formal tone, etc. This was a super fun activity for the day before Thanksgiving!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great lesson in the few days right before Thanksgiving. Some of my students were very serious and researched facts and others went more creative and dramatic.
