Write a persuasive letter to your teacher about a book you’d like to see turned into a movie.

• Include a greeting (Dear or To)

• Tell the name of the book

• Write 3 reasons the book would make a good movie.

Example

Dear Teacher,

I have been reading a book called Don’t Let Pigeon Drive the Bus. I think it should be made into a movie. The first reason is it is so funny. The second reason is Pigeon is trying very hard to drive the bus. He tries lots of different ways to be convincing. The third reason is it would be easy to turn into a cartoon because Pigeon is easy to draw.

From,

Student

Watch this video about Earth Day:

Earth Day

Write a small moment story about something you did to help the Earth. Small Moment means write about something that actually happened to you.

• Remember to include a beginning, middle, and end part.

• Your story should be at least 5 sentences long.

Example

Today I went on light patrol. I turned off the porch light. “Good job, I am saving electricity,” I thought. I walked through the house and peeked into each room to see if there were lights I could turn off. I found one lamp on in a room where nobody was in it. “Yay, I helped the Earth!” I cheered.
