Have a look at the Learn to Write Proposals online Proposal Guide and you'll find articles specifically about persuasive writing and sales letters.

Language arts: this can go fo whatever you teacher is planing.... Ask him if you guys can read certain novels and the try to find compound sentences ect.. in the text. ( ask them if you can bring food products for te feeling of a 'reading circle')
Math- cupacakes are the way to go for math. when studing things such as negative and positive intergers, have a negative cupcakes and positive cupcakes to help you understand.

Need help writing a persuasive letter?

Dear So and So:

I am writing in the hopes that you will make an exception to your catering policy. I am planning a very important Retirement/Honorary Service event for a distinguished professor and yours is his favorite restaurant. (Or, he has spoken so often of wishing to dine in your establishment that I was hoping to surprise him by holding this prestigious event in your restaurant).

Throw in lots of flattering adjectives...delicious, inviting, welcoming, convivial atmosphere, excellent service, eternally grateful, etc.

Good luck!

We are students at Wright State University. Our class requires us to plan, develop, and execute a social action project over the course of a university quarter term. We have chosen to sponsor and provide a Fall Harvest/Halloween Bingo Party for the residents of Brighton Gardens in Centerville on October 17, 1999. We are soliciting donations from area businesses for prizes, decorations, and refreshments. If your business is interested in donating to this project we would greatly appreciate your input. All donations would be recognized as donated from your establishment at the party, in the resident community newsletter and possibly in the local newspaper (if we are able to interest them in a human-interest story for the paper). This letter and our letter of Thank you indicating your exact donation are sufficient documentation of your donation for tax purposes.



These donations will be used for the sole purpose and benefit of the residents of Brighton Gardens in Centerville. No donations will be awarded to Wright State University participants or employees of Brighton Gardens. Our project goal is to provide a Sunday afternoon of activity, socialization, and enjoyment for the residents of Brighton Gardens. If you have any questions you may contact the project group chairman, Kathleen Werning at 513-896-6545 or kwerning@fuse.net If you wish to have further information on the nature of the class requirement you may contact our Instructor, Jennifer Alexander-Paul, at 937-775-2710.

Persuasive Writing -Letter. Please help?

We Answered:

Dear Sir

As you know the seventh grade have been studying zoology I have been wondering if it would be a good idea for us to have a school trip to ......... zoo. I think the conservation of rare species could be studied first hand. It would give us some inside knowledge of how a zoo is run the food regimes of the animals and perhaps some of the costs involved

I many ways it would cover several school lesson topics English in the essay after the visit. Maths in costing the food entrance fees etc, and of course biology.

I know the seventh grade would really appreciate a school zoo outing and wondered if you would be prepared to organise this trip for us.
