Electives

For 3 terms a year at HNI we get to do electives. This term I got to do Flipout. For this elective, every friday a group of 40 kids get to go by bus to flipout. We get to learn how to do flips, backflips, round offs etc.

Redskin Persuasive Writing

Mr Billings asked us to write a persuasive about why we deserve redskins. He promised that the best persuasives got some! I know that he is only doing this so we try do one of our best pieces of writing but still, I want redskins! Here is my work.

Introduction

Redskins are yummy treats. We all love redskins. But Mr Billings is eating them all himself! I want redskins! But I only get fed brussel sprouts at home so the only treats I get are at school. Now I have the opportunity to get some redskins. So I am going to do the best persuasive story ever to get Mr B to give me some. Everyone should love redskins. These are some reasons why I should be allowed some.

Point 1

Redskins are sugary treats that everybody enjoys. But if you have never tried one then you’re missing out. Redskins are as yummy as… redskins? See? They are so tasty I am saying they are as tasty as redskins. Which is true because they are redskins… and they are as tasty as redskins. I want redskins! I haven’t had redskins in a whole term! ( If you call how long it has been since the end of term one a whole term ) Also, when I bought five redskins in the auction I gave three away! And then I gave the other one to my brother. So I bought five redskins and only got one. I miss the sweet taste of redskins!

Point 2

If I don’t get a redskin within next week then I will die! You wouldn’t want that, would you? I’m sure that other people are exaggerating like I am, but I have lots to give! In fact, you are bribing me to write this. So it is quite unfair if I exaggerate and I don’t get redskins. But I swear on my life ( literally on my life, because if I don’t get one in within next week then I will loose my life… ) that I will die if I don’t get one.

Point 3

If my last two points didn’t persuade you then I guess I will have to beg you… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN I HAVE SOME REDSKINS? I am starving because I don’t eat the brussel sprouts my parents give me. Who would want to eat brussel sprouts anyway, I mean seriously, eat brussel sprouts? Gross. I really would appreciate it if you decided to give me some redskins. Seriously.

Summary / Conclusion

If my points didn’t persuade you then I guess I’m out of luck… At least I tried. Those were the the reasons I want a redskins. I’m actually serious about the death thing… Seriously. I would really like it if you gave me some redskins. Thanks for reading my persuasive which may or may not have persuaded you to give me redskins. Seriously. Thanks. But I am actually really serious about the death thing. So please consider the redskins.

( I am not actually serious about the death thing… But please can I have a redskin or two... or three… or a whole packet of them! )
