Using the Persuasion Map, write your goal. Is your goal for the class to go to Disneyland or Disney World? Next, state 3 reasons why your class should go to the amusement park of your choice. Then, give facts or examples to support your reasons. Finally, write a persuasive letter to the class convincing them why your choice is the best and why.

See you at the Magic Kingdom!
