We are a group of Grade 5 students who are passionate about making a positive impact in our digital communities. As part of our writing integration curriculum, we are delving into the art of persuasive writing to address the pressing issue of online hate.

Through persuasive writing, we aim to raise awareness about the harmful effects of online hate and inspire others to promote empathy, respect, and kindness online. Our goal is to encourage individuals to critically analyze their online behavior, understand the consequences of spreading hate, and actively contribute to creating a more inclusive and supportive digital community.

By integrating persuasive writing into our studies, we are not only refining our language and communication skills but also becoming agents of change. We want to empower individuals to reflect on their online interactions, challenge their beliefs, and take action to foster a more positive and respectful online environment.

Through our persuasive texts, we will present compelling arguments, share real-life examples, and provide thought-provoking insights into the impact of online hate. We hope to engage readers in meaningful dialogue, inspire self-reflection, and encourage a collective effort to combat online hate.

We invite you to join us on this important journey. By engaging with our persuasive texts, reflecting on their messages, and considering your own online conduct, you can play an active role in fostering a safer and more inclusive digital world.

Thank you for supporting us as we use persuasive writing to address the issue of online hate and work towards creating a more compassionate and respectful online community.

We used Canva, a design platform for posters, presentations, banners, etc to create our poster. 

We worked together to make the poster pleasing to others and to finish faster to buy time.
