Persuasive Advocacy Letter to a Public Official
Persuasive Advocacy Letter to a Public Official
Students are to choose an issue from their community (local, national, global) that they care enough about to advocate. They are to then write an advocacy letter for change, carefully considering their audience and using primary and secondary information as evidence to support their arguments. They must have an appropriate call to action and correct business letter format.
