    Persuade Santa to do one of the following things:
    --get a new high powered speedy sleigh
    -- give you everything on your list
    --give some of your presents to less fortunate children
    --let you go for a ride on Christmas eve with him.
    ---------------You can even come up with some of your own..these are just some I thought of to get them started.
    I provide them with a persuasive essay template with introduction, reason 1....details...reason 2 details and reason 3 with details. and conclusion. they write this in the form of a letter.


    Persuade your parents to let you stay home alone for a week. (this one gets very funny and some of them think of the movie home alone when they write about the reasons.

    Persuade your principal to allow you:
    to have extra long recess
    to go on a field trip to Six Flags/Disney World
    to have a week with no uniforms
    to use your Ipod in class

    the principal actually reads my students letters and comes up to talk to them...they love it.
