Zoos are cruel

Some people think zoos are important for saving animals. Others think zoos are cruel prisons. What do you think? Write to convince a reader of your opinion. Start with an introduction. An introduction lets a reader know what you are going to write about. Write your opinion on the topic. Give reasons for your opinion. Explain your reasons. Finish with a conclusion. A conclusion sums up your reasons so that a reader is convinced of your opinion. Remember to: plan your writing, use paragraphs to organise your ideas, write in sentences, choose your words carefully to convince a reader of your opinion, pay attention to your spelling and punctuation, check and edit your writing so it is clear for a reader.
