Persuasive writing

Yesterday the 17/10/19 my class did some persuasive writing about should schools do athletics or not. Here is Mine.

Should every school do athletics? Agree? Disagree?

Do you think every school should join in and do athletics?

Well I think every school should. Here are

Three reasons why I think schools should do athletics.

My first reason is because it is good exercise

for your body. There are all different kinds of activities

to participate in.

There are 5 different sports to do. E.g: shot put, discus,

running,

high jump and long jump. Those are the ones you can

get for the

West Coast athletics and then if you do well you go to

Canterbury.

There are also just fun little games to play like:

two legged

race,

egg and spoon race and rainbow parachute with balls.

My second reason is because athletics is fun.

It’s fun because

all activities are different, some are hard and some

are easy,

some are boring, some are fun. My favourite is

shot put

because it is easy for me and I like trying to get the

ball over the point and if I get it over the line/point

I get

in for West Coast athletics. To get in to West Coast

you have to have at least two or three things to get in

otherwise it doesn't count and you don’t get in for West

Coast.

I have been in West Coast before and I felt so proud.

My third reason why I think schools should athletics is

because after you feel good about doing it and if you got

in you should feel really proud. And if you didn’t get at least

you tried your hardest in all the activities you did. If you

didn’t get in don’t sulk because of that because i

t’s not being good sportsmanship.

Those are my reasons why I think

schools should do athletics. Do you think

schools

should

do athletics or not.
