We have finished publishing our robot information reports! Students worked hard to research and write about their robots, describing their features, abilities and purpose. I am so proud of their finished work!
Now our persuasive writing skills have been put to the test! Students are writing scripts for their robot advertisements, using catchy hooks, persuasive language, and convincing evidence to encourage their audience to buy their robot. I can't wait to see their creativity shine!
