Dear Year 4 students,

I am writing to you today to encourage you to practice your persuasive writing skills by writing a letter to someone you admire or respect. Persuasive writing is an important skill that can help you in many areas of your life, from convincing your parents to let you stay up late to persuading your friends to try a new game.

To get started, think about someone you admire or respect. This could be a family member, a teacher, a coach, or even a celebrity. Once you have chosen your recipient, think about what you want to persuade them to do or believe. Do you want to convince them to support a cause you care about? Do you want to persuade them to try a new hobby or activity? Whatever your goal, make sure it is clear and specific.

Next, think about your audience. What do they care about? What are their values and beliefs? Use this information to craft your argument in a way that will resonate with them. Use persuasive language and strong evidence to support your position.

Finally, make sure your letter is well-written and organized. Use proper grammar and punctuation, and make sure your ideas flow logically from one to the next. Consider asking a teacher or parent to review your letter before you send it.

In conclusion, persuasive writing is an important skill that can help you in many areas of your life. By writing a letter to someone you admire or respect, you can practice this skill while also expressing your ideas and opinions. So go ahead and give it a try – you never know what you might be able to persuade someone to do!

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
