Emme’s purpose: I am trying to convince Carter to like Hedgehogs!
Carter’s purpose: I am trying to convince Emme to like dogs way better!
Emme: I think Hedgehog are better than Dogs because they cute. Example: When I take Pinecone out we turn her upside down and she turns into a cute little ball.
Carter: I think Dogs are better than Hedgehogs because you can train then to do tricks and play with them outside Example: Whenever I come home my Dog wants to go outside and play.
Emme: I think Hedgehogs are better than Dogs because they eat less food and don’t need that much space to be in. Example: I only need to give Pinecone a teaspoon of cat food.
Carter: I think Dogs are better than Hedgehogs because they like to explore. Example: when I am home he is exploring the backyard.
Emme: As you can see, Hedgehogs are cuter. Did I convince you?
Carter: Yes
Carter: For all the reasons I’ve given, Dogs are better. Have I convinced you?
Emme: Yes
Both: Those are the reason we chose these animals. What do you think?
Dear Emme and Carter,
I couldn’t believe it when you began this assignment and had it published within our writing time about 30 minutes later! Don’t you enjoy having so much fun while you’re working as a team? You’ve both convinced me that I like both hedgehogs and dogs!
From,
Mrs. Fordyce
