Persuasion:
The Art of Getting Want You Want
Think of something rather outrageous that you might want from your parent(s) –something that you don’t actually need. Have you always wanted to paint your room purple with orange polka dots? Would life be better if you had a personal assistant? Is the backyard the perfect place to keep your own pet elephant? Do you feel your life would benefit from owning your own jet pack?
Write a persuasive letter to convince your parent(s) to get you what you want. Create a poster showing how cool the thing that you want is. Then write a poem or song about your life now that you have your awesome thing.

Dear Mom and Dad,
First of all I would like to Thank-You for being the best parents in the whole wide world. I have been thinking of something that would be truly great for our whole family. I think we should get a mansion. A mansion would be so relaxing and we would have so many extras in our home we could do so much in it.
Mom, I have started a plan for you to head up our family getting this mansion. Mom, you still have your real estate license and you have the skill to find us a mansion. You also have so many realtor friends who could be on the lookout for our mansion. The price of mansions as well as interest rates on mortgages is at an all time low. Just think maybe you could even get a commission on your purchase of our fabulous mansion.
I have listed for your pleasure some valuable reasons on why we should get a mansion.
My first reason is that if we get a mansion, we could all have our own floors. You and Dad can have the top floor and Maxwell and I can have the second floor that would give you more privacy.
My second reason is that if we get a mansion we can have a pool, wouldn’t that be great Mom and Dad. We could splash around in the summer.
My third reason is that if we have a mansion we have to have butler, he can make doctor appointments do the bills, get anything you want. I would love it if he called me Master Reid. Just like Batman’s butler always called him Master Wayne. How cool is that! I would love to be able to say “Get the Bat mobile ready!” Mom and Dad most of all Charles would leave more time for us to have family fun.
Now those are some of the perks of having a mansion if we get one. We can have our own floors, we can go in our indoor pool, and we can have an awesome butler called Charles. Last but not least if we get this mansion I promise to make sure I always get my reading journal done for Ms Moll. Now that’s why we should get a mansion!
Love Austin

An Ice Rink By Michael
By Michael
Dear, Mom and Dad
I was wondering can we get an ice rink in the backyard? I think that would be awesome, and here’s why.
You know why getting an ice rink would be cool? Because I could practice way more. If I practice more I will get better, and if I get better I’ll make it to the NHL, and if I make it to the NHL I’ll get rich, and if I get rich I’ll share all my money with you. It’s a win-win-win, no one would deny an offer such as this one.
If we get an ice rink you won’t have pay for those expensive hockey camps because I can do different drills in the backyard. My friend Arden has a mini ice rink. Since Arden has a mini rink and is good at hockey, if I get a huge rink I’ll be amazing. So I also won’t need the hockey camps.
Imagine how much fun we will have if we get a rink in the backyard. We can invite all of our friends and family to our spectacular rink. Also once everyone knows about the rink completely random strangers will wont to skate as well, and when that happens we can charge admittance fees. With the money we make we can also hire a Zamboni driver. That would be so cool.
That’s why I think we should get a hockey rink in the backyard because I’ll get better at hockey, you won’t have to pay for camps, we will make more money and finally, we will have fun.
P.S. wait till you see what I want next. Love your ever so persuasive son Michael.

A Cotton Candy Machine By Bianca
By Bianca
Dear Mom,
I think a cotton candy machine will make our stressed lives a whole lot easier. Just picture it, you coming home from a bad day at work and have lots of reports due. Before you start those reports you could plop yourself on the couch and enjoy that nice watermelon cotton candy. You push the fluffy snack into your mouth and instantly feel less stressed. It will melt as it hits your tongue, you will never go back to eating popsicles. Wouldn’t that be great?
Another good thing about us having a cotton candy making machine is that I will do all of my chores in return of you buying us one. Never again will you see my room cluttered, or my pet fish hungry. I will even do extra, like do the laundry, take out the trash, and make breakfast.
If you say no, think of the loss we will have. If we host a big basketball party while the big Celtics game is on TV and we want a sweet snack, cotton candy would be nice. But without the cotton candy making machine we would just eat some plain old ice cream. Or it’s my chocolate themed birthday party and my friend walks up. They hey say they don’t the like chocolate cake. Giving them chocolate cupcakes won’t help, but what they would really like is freshly made cotton candy.
Come on mom, it’s a once in a life opportunity. I hear you always complaining about all of the sugary junk food we have. The cotton candy making machine comes with packs of sugar free flavor. If we get the cotton candy making machine you will stop worrying about all of the junk food we eat. It’s a great way to have fun while knowing your kids are healthy. That’s why I am asking you for a cotton candy making machine, so can we please get one.
Sincerely your awesome daughter, Bianca
