Persuasive Peer Review Checklist

Read the letter below. Then review it as a kind, helpful writing partner. Use evidence from the letter, and give one suggestion the writer can act on.

Read Hudson’s letter

Dear Carnival Organisers, I think our swimming carnival should include a short water-safety demonstration. First, it would remind everyone how to stay safe near the pool. Also, younger swimmers could learn what to do if they see someone in trouble. A lifeguard could show us how to call for help without getting into the water. This useful demonstration would only take five minutes, so there would still be plenty of time for races. Please add it to the program. It could help make our carnival safer for everyone. From, Hudson
