Change a rule or law
Rules and laws tell us what we can and cannot do. Choose a rule or law that you think needs to change. It could be a home or school rule. It could be a rule of a game or sport. It could be a law that everyone has to follow. The change should make the rule or law better. Write to convince a reader why this rule or law should be changed. 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.
