In third grade our students take the Maryland School Performance Test for the
first time. The test requires certain writing skills. One of the skills is
writing persuasive text. In this lesson with the boys I asked them to draw
their favorite pizza for Isamu's class and then give me a good reason why it
is the best.
Dear Kanako and Mayumi,
I like pepperoni and cheese pizza because it looks yummy and I like the sauce the best.

Dear Kanako and Ayumi,
I like cheese pizza with pepperoni because it is good. It tastes like cheese. We eat pizza at school.
