Critical Thinking Fridays

Narrative and Expository

Hello again all you wonderful writers out there!  You have been working hard on writing different types of writing this year, especially narrative and expository writing.  Can you explain the differences between these two different types of writing?  What makes them different?  Which kind of writing do you enjoy the most?  Why do you enjoy it?  Narrative writing is important when you are wanting to get your thoughts about an event down on paper and tell a story.  Expository writing, and learning how to support your thoughts with supporting ideas will be an important skill for you all through school.  It is important for you to express your opinion or ideas about a topic and them support it with relevant details.  You will see as you move on to 5th grade, and then to middle school, that your writing skills are very important.  Keep practicing what you have learned in class, and your skills will only continue to improve.  Keep writing!

Be Persuasive

Hello all you Wolverine Writers,
Have you been working on your powers of persuasion?  Last week we read about persuasive essays, and then wrote one of our own.  Have you been using what you learned to persuade your parents or friends to think the way you think?  What are some examples of persuasion you have seen at school or at home?  How about your favorite advertisements or television commercials?  Do they sometimes convince you to ask your parents for specific clothes or toys?  If you like convincing people to think your way, have you thought about a future career as an advertising agent, or a lawyer?  These careers persuade people every day.  Keep up the good work, and share with me where you have used your powers of persuasion in your daily life.  I'll be happy to hear your thoughts.
