Persuasive Arguments - Easton and Creighton

Today we learned to write persuasive arguments! A persuasive argument is one that you try to convince someone to let you do something. 

For example my brother and I convinced our dad to let us watch "Avatar: The last Airbender."

We learned that you have to say why you want to do it, how it effects the person you ask, and how we would benefit from doing it. You also have to add a topic and a conclusion.

Editors note: It also helps when the argument is well structured and fits in with the plans of the day.

Apparently all my posts are about food… - Karen

Indian food here is fantastic!  We've had take out a couple of nights from a few different places in Suva and I've yet to have any that wasn't delicious.  Roti (what we would call tortias in the States) is served at one place and last night we had Naan.  But the flavors of all the dishes are incredible.  And I would say that I do a bit of Indian food at home.  It has Jay and I convinced we need to figure out what dishes the boys would like so we can make this an even more regular rotation on our family meals.

It's 2013 - Jay

Happy New Year from the Kreshel Boys in Fiji. We are almost a full day ahead of home in California.

The boys stayed up until 2:30am Fiji time. That is actually 5:30 AM Pacific time. But a day later.
