✉️ Part 2: Parts of a Persuasive Letter

Example Letter to the Big Bad Wolf:

Dear Big Bad Wolf,

I think you should stop blowing down houses. Here are my reasons:

First, it makes the little pigs very sad and scared.

Second, building houses takes a long time and costs money.

Third, you could hurt yourself by huffing and puffing so much!

Please consider being friends with the pigs instead. You could help them build stronger houses!

Yours sincerely,
A Concerned Friend
