Writing assignment for Gr. 3-5
 
1. The Best Activity

Reading, Writing, cooking, playing a certain sport, swimming, horseback riding, etc..Many activities requires special talents and abilities and not everyone likes to do the same thing. What is fun and motivational for one person may be very dull for another. What is something you are really good at or enjoy doing? Why is it your favorite activity or sport?  Try to convince me that your chosen activity is the best.

Write a persuasive paragraph telling me why this activity is so special. Be sure to include:

What your opinion is.

Support for your opinion.


2. Repeat this assignment but change the topic to "The most nutritional food item." Why is your food item the best for keeping you healthy?
