Fifth Grade

Turkeys on Strike Persuasive Writing
Scroll Down for Samples

Fifth graders work on persuasive writing throughout the school year to prepare themselves for ISAT's and the real world.  This holiday season, students decided to save the turkeys for Thanksgiving.  They wrote a persuasive paragraph on what someone should eat instead of turkey and why their ideas would be a better choice.

Don't eat turkey! Instead eat…brownies! Brownies are very high in sugar and can give you lots of energy! You'll want energy to laugh with your family. Brownies can also be colorful. You can add sprinkles and frosting to make it colorful. Brownies will send your taste buds to outer space! They are very high in energy and are extremely tasty! We need to stop eating turkey before they become extinct.

Don't eat turkey, eat mouth-watering pizza. First of all, you should have pizza with "EXTRA" juicy sauce that is made from tomatoes. You should also eat pizza because of the steamy sun yellow cheese that is from the dairy group. Last but not least, you should eat mouth-watering pizza because of the crunchy crust. Don't eat gobbling turkey, eat sizzling pizza!

Don't eat turkeys! Instead , eat soy burgers. My first reason is because they taste like animals but they aren't. Secondly, they don't have lots of fat in them. They are very healthy and have different food groups such as: grains, vegetables, fruits, and dairy. Also, soy burgers fill you up. In this case, that's a good thing. All in all, you can spare the turkeys and instead, eat soy burgers.

Don't eat turkey! Instead eat…fettuccini Alfredo with broccoli! Fettuccini is healthy and gives you energy from grains. Alfredo has milk and cheese. Also, broccoli has vegetables. Turkey doesn't even come close. Fettuccini is better than turkey because you can add more vegetables for flavor and variety. Finally, if we keep eating turkey, there won't be enough and they will become extinct! So please, vote against eating turkey!
