Today we began a writing assignment. A call to action letter. We have been doing a great deal of reading around current and past First Nations issues. Now we are writing a letter to someone who you think needs to know about these issues. Who that is, is up to you. A politician? a celebrity? a family member? You are going to tell them about what you have learned, and are still learning, and what they can do about it - a call to action.

This is due next Monday.

Here is what I'll be looking for:

Thinking -What you say - persuasive ideas - Are your ideas explained and supported with evidence? - Is there a call to action for your reader?

Communication - How you say it - word choice - spelling

Knowledge - What you write -Conventions of a formal letter - Salutation/closing          -body paragraph(s)

Application - The way you connect it - Makes connections to other ideas that help your audience relate to the argument - Is highly persuasive
