Roberta's science class is going on a field trip, and her teacher asks students to make suggestions about where they should go.
Roberta decides to write a letter to her class explaining why they should go to the planetarium. Roberta decided to begin her letter with this sentence: The planetarium is not crowded on Wednesdays, so we should visit it then. Is this sentence an appropriate opening sentence for the persuasive purpose? A) yes, because it does not give students any other options B) no, because some students may want to go on a different day C) no, because it gives no details to make the students want to go D) yes, because it tells students a specific day they can go on the trip
C) no, because it gives no details to make the students want to go
Explanation:
This sentece would be appropiate if they had already decided to go to the planetarium and are deciding which day should they go, but as she is trying to convince them to go, this is not the correct way to start, because she is not giving any reason to go, other than the fact that it isn´t crowded, she should tell the class why she thinks they can learn and have fun by going to the planetarium instead of to the museum or other places.
