Persuasive Writing - Why we shouldn't be allowed to have Sweets at school.

 Sweets might be yum, It might be what we all want, But sometimes, Bad things can happen.


If you eat too much candy, you will end up extremely fat and then you won't be able to do certain things just like the average human.


According to studies, It can decrease academic performance a lot, it can cause hyperactivity, and it can do bad things to them. Instead, they should sell foods that are good for the brain, like fruits and vegetables.


Can you imagine yourself looking that fat.


Another reason why we shouldn't is because When you eat excess sugar, the extra insulin in your bloodstream can affect your arteries all over your body. It causes their walls to get inflamed, grow thicker than normal and more stiff, this stresses your heart and damages it over time. This can lead to heart disease, like heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes.


Trust me, No one would want to have heart failures, strokes and heart attacks. You could possibly die from that.


Will you agree with me, or not?.

Persuasive Writing - Writing

 Persuasive Writing


This week in Writing we have been learning about a Persuasive Text. A Persuasive Text is that you convince someone to do this or that, whatever your argument is about.


For my argument, My topic is to Stop Littering. There are many reasons I have came up for no one to litter.


Here is my Pitch, Have a read, Hope you enjoy!

____________________________________________________________________________

No Littering - P. Dibnah


Rhetroical Question:

Why are we doing this to the environment? Can you bear to see it happen right infront of your eyes, and you do nothing about it. 



We need to stop littering on this earth because A study from Portland State University found that patients enrolled in mental health disorder treatment programs perceived litter located around their housing facility to be a factor in hindering the development of positive health outcomes associated with their current mental health recovery.


Litter has the potential to cause harm to human health, safety, welfare, as well as the environment. So we should stop littering because this is bad, it can affect us. 




MY HAMBURGER NOTES


We should stop littering because it could affect the environment we live in.


If we keep on littering, we would end up living in a country or possibly world of pollution.


If we keep on littering it will affect our fresh air and we could possibly suffocate and die.







Have a fantastic day, Are you agreeing with my topic.

The Yellow Umbrella - Writing

Kia Ora, Welcome to today's blog post is about Empathy, and about what we have been writing.


WHAT IS EMPATHY?

Empathy is about walking in other people shoes, Not literally, About seeing of what others has experinced in life. 


UMBRELLA VIDEO SUMMARY

We watched a Award-Winning video about a Little Girl donating her toys to a Orphanage down town, It was raining so she bought her Shiny Bright Limited-Edition Yellow Umbrella. She bought it inside with her mother bringing the toys inside. She placed her Umbrella at the Umbrella stand so she could meet the orphans. Well not all, There was a boy named Boris and he took the Yellow Umbrella because it reminded him of his dad before he left Boris. When the girl saw Boris with it, She got angry and snatched it away from him, Then the girl realised why he wanted the umbrella so she gave it to Boris.
