Books for I Wanna Iguana or I Wanna New Room Persuasive Letter Template
This common core aligned project pairs great with the books I Wanna Iguana and I Wanna New Room by Karen Kaufman Orloff. However, owning these books is by no means necessary for using this resource.
Ideas for Using I Wanna Iguana or I Wanna New Room Persuasive Letter Template:
Students will brainstorm, draft, plan, edit and publish a writing piece about 4 different reasons to support their opinion on the topic. This week, they will be writing a persuasive letter to their parents (or a significant person) about something they would like and reasons why they want it. Afterwards, students will complete a simple craft to add a pop of color and fun to their letter writing template.
