·  Persuasive Writing: What Can Writing in Family Message Journals Do For Students? Building on an introductory lesson, “Launching Family Message Journals,” this lesson shows children how they can use daily journal communication with families to serve their needs. Writing can function to shape families’ behavior, to get things from families, and to figure things out through written communication. By involving children in writing several messages with varied purposes, each related to school activities, this lesson helps students discover the power of writing to serve their needs. When children recognize what writing can do for them, they are motivated to write and to work at making their messages clearer and more persuasive.
