Persuasive Writing

WALT - Write a persuasive text. In our class we have been doing persuasive writing about should cellphones be banned. What I found hard was coming up with ideas. Something I enjoyed was doing the writing. Next time I will add more facts.

Should Cellphones Be Banned

I think cellphones should be banned because it could distract people during class and it could also distract people from their learning as well.

I think cellphones should be banned because it could distract people while they are doing their work and could also distract people while they are  learning. Another reason why cellphones should be banned is because if they are doing a test they could use their cellphones to find out the answers.

Another reason why I think cellphones should be banned is that while they are doing their work cellphones can stop them from finishing their work that they have started. Also

In conclusion I think that cellphone should be banned because it could distract them during learning and they could use them to find out answers during a test.
