Persuasive Letter

Dear Mr Hendricks…….

You always say that every sport is an opportunity. But honestly we would like to pick sports we like. For example the boys get put in soccer and Volleyball when they want to play Basketball and Rugby. The girls get put into Netball and Volleyball when they want to play touch or something else. Therefore you should let the year 7 and 8 students organise the mini olympics for the senior school.

We are getting sick of not being given choices.  In most school events, teachers organise them and they often choose things that we don’t like or agree with. For once we would like to do things our way so give us the chance.

Planning this event  will give us the chance to also learn what other people are like and to learn how to negotiate. We may have an argument on the choices we make but we will learn that we have to come agreement in the end.  

Finally I believe that students are getting more and more bored and lazy when the teachers pick the games because they are not interested. If we picked our own games it will be more fun and we will be keen to take part.

Therefore Mr Hendricks I believe that you should  let us plan this event.

Sincerely Yours

Moana
