Persuasive Essay

The Ten Day Challenge Essay
Choose something to start or stop for ten days. Keep an informal journal every day. At the end of the ten days, you will draft a five (5) paragraph essay in the Writing Workshop with Ms. Fajkus on your experience, persuading your reader to do or not to do what you did. You will have time in class for a peer conference. It is your responsibility to revise and edit your essay. Ask for help if you need it! The last part of the assignment will be presenting your results to the class.
