Persuasive letters concerning the playground graffiti (6F)

This week in 6F, we have been continuing our debate about the graffiti in the playground. Is it art? Or does it set a poor precedent of condoning illegal acts? Here's the beginning of Viet's persuasive letter:

Dear Miss Heywood,

The purpose of this letter is to detail why we should take the horrendous playground graffiti down. I strongly believe that this atrocious painting in the gazebo is vandalism on the innocent gazebo walls. The thoughtless criminal, who has needlessly ruined the wall, should, with no regrets, be served up some justice. Here’s why:


Firstly, it is no ordinary ‘artwork’ it is illegal! (Illegal means that you do something without the right permission). Although a majority of people think it is art, in reality, it is really just glorified vandalism. If fact, 6/9 of the school voted that it is unacceptable to torment our adored gazebo like this. Do you really think that illegal graffiti is suitable in a school?

  2. I like your use of inverted commas in the word artwork. I also like your use of a rhetorical question at the end of the extract as it makes the reader think about what you are asking.
    VERY WELL DONE!!!
    your classmate,
