Recently we had a persuasive writing contest.  The goal was to convince me that you should get the prize.  Below is the winning entry.

Hello fellow students of NCC elementary school.  I am here today to ask you if we deserve the Smartfood popcorn award.  Please think about us, because we have never tasted Smartfood in our lives.  We are hopeless because we aren’t allowed to eat it unless we eat our brussels sprouts and we can’t do that.  REsearch shows that 98% of the class likes us. Research also shows that we are extremely funny.  If we don’t get the award, we will be heartbroken and cry.  We are crying right now because we really want it.  Please, please help us win.  This is your only chance to help us!  We are just like you, kids with parents who won’t let us eat Smartfood.

In conclusion, we say good day and please help us by voting for us.  

Thank you.
