Throughout the story Alex uses fantastic word choice for words that described him. Word choice is a persuasive writing technique.
First, create a list of four strong, descriptive words or phrases that apply to you. Then, write four short letters to your parent about an animal you want. These letters should be persuasive by including why you deserve the pet, and what you would do to take care of it. Include strong word choice such as powerful verbs and added detail to these letters! End each of your letters with “Love, __________.” Each of the four descriptive words or phrases should be written before your name, just like Alex does in the story.
