The student persuasive writing lesson focuses on writing to persuade you to get a pet for the classroom.

Wonderful step-by-step directions! I liked the literature that you recommend to start the unit. I didn't get the alligator this year, but plan to for next year.

Thank you so much for the kind words!! I hope you get the alligator this year... be sure to use distilled water (they seem to grow bigger with the distilled water!). Have fun!!

Hi Sugar10!
Thanks for the heads up. I don't know why, but the file reverted to the original version without the prompts. I have uploaded it again and it should have the prompts now. Please let me know if they are NOT there. I really appreciate you letting me know! I had no idea the prompts were not showing!
Regards!!

Hello,
I love these lessons, however it will not let me save a copy. It will only allow me to print. Lease help:)

Hi Linda,
First of all, thanks for purchasing and for your nice comment.
I have protected the pages from being copied (so that my materials cannot be "copied" and pasted" into other documents) but you should be able to download as many copies of the file as you want from the "my purchases" tab once you are logged in to TPT.
You should also be able to save a copy of the original document (I just tested this and it did save a copy on my desktop).
Can I ask if you are trying to highlight and copy certain things on a page or just save a whole copy of the file so you have a back-up?
TPT has a GREAT feature under "my purchases". You have access to all your purchases and you can download them as many times as you want! You can download additional copies for back-up OR download a copy for home and one on your school computer.
Does this solve the problem? If not, let me know and I'll continue to help you until we get this resolved!
I'm so sorry you were frustrated! My apologies!
Lisa
