Menlo School Persuasive selections are part of Informational (Expository) genres. If you've been around young children, you know that they learn to persuade adults to do what they want at a very early age. Young children attempt to persuade their parents to allow them to stay up past their bedtime by saying, "I'll be good if you let me stay up and watch this TV program," or negotiate an extra treat by saying, "I'll eat my vegetables if I can have another cookie." Yes, indeed, young children definitely possess the power of persuasion. All we need to do is harness this natural ability. Young authors as well as older, more proficient authors possess the ability to think, organize, write, and present great persuasive arguments.
