  • Go to Kidblog
  • Sign in and start a new post
  • Title it 'Persuasive Writing'
  • Type your paper.  You do not need a heading in a blog (we will add that later in Microsoft Word).  Type out your four parapraphs.  Push 'Enter' twice at the end of a paragraph.
  • Use font size '3 (12pt)'
  • Use font family Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, or Tahoma
  • Publish your paper when you're finished.
  • Go read 4 people's paper (pick 2 people you normally work with and 2 people you don't normally work with).
  • In the comments, give suggestions for revisions and edits.  Say which paragraph and which sentence the edit or revision is so they know what you're talking about.  Be respectful as you suggest edits (avoid 'That sentence sounds stupid.  You should change it')
