Kia orana readers,
This week in Room 9 we have been learning about persuasive writing. For this activity we had a google doc titled For/Against Statements where we had five choices of what three statements we would like to choose and we could swap them around if we disagree with the statement. These five choices are ps4 is better than xbox, cats are better than dogs, netball is better than basketball, lollies should be allowed at school and 12 year old's should be allowed their license. Click on the links to see an article of where I had gotten my evidence. Here is my persuasive statements.
I think… Dogs are better than cats
Because…dogs are better listeners and you can take them out for walks but with cats they just sleep for nearly the whole day.
My evidence: Many of the dog people will be sure dogs are better listeners. After all, they can understand words. Dogs can learn about one hundred words in the language of their trainer. (Source: Link)

I think…Xbox is better than ps4
Because…although ps4 has a few hundred more games xbox has some of the best games such as really good car games and shooting games. I also find that ps4’s controller is wider and feels a bit odd but with xbox controllers they feel more comfortable and grippy. Xbox also has one of the best quality unlike the ps4 it's a bit blurry.
My evidence: The most clear advantage of purchasing an Xbox One over a PS4 right now is that Microsoft has the most powerful console on the market.While coming down largely to personal preference, the Xbox controller is often cited as a sturdier controller with a better build than Sony’s DualShock brand.

I think…Lollies should not be allowed at school
Because…Lollies have lots of sugar and they can destroy your teeth.
My evidence: It’s common knowledge that sugar is bad for your teeth. But as science has progressed, one thing is certain — sugar causes tooth decay. (Source:Link) |
Aloha Emily,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your opinion with us. It's great to see you could back up your thinking with evidence! Keep up the fantastic work.
Bula vinaka Whaea Miki,
DeleteThank you for commenting. I had two reasons and I couldn't find that evidence on that same website so I had to find another website for my information. Have a lovely day. Ciao.
