Choose your TWO MOST PERSUASIVE POINTS.

For each point, expand your notes from above into a full statement.

Add supporting details or evidence to each reason, in 1-2 more sentences.

Reason statement 1

Rona was running, when her track was darkened from a cloud which had blocked the light of the moon. 


Supporting details/evidence


The cloud blocked the light of the moon darkening the track causing her to trip and break her calabash.

Reason statement 2

Rona continued to run the track even with poor light. Tripped and fell a couple more times and blamed the moon.

Supporting details/evidence


If the parth darkened Rona should have slowed down because she can't see.

Write a maximum of 2 paragraphs to present your TWO most convincing reasons.
One reason for each paragraph. 

Start your writing here…

  1. Rona was on her way to collect some water for her husband. She was running along the track which was liten up by the moon. When suddenly a cloud moved in front and blocked the light causing Rona to trip.

  2. When the path darkened Rona should've slowed down and slowly walked until the cloud had past, this would prevent falling over and be more safer, but because she didn’t think she ran and trip over breaking her calabash.

  1. Kia ora Kahurangi,
    You have done some solid planning for your writing this week. I think you could combine the two paragraphs you have written to persuade your reader of why Rona should not have been running. What could you next reason/point to convince someone that Rona should not have blamed Marama for her accident?
