Description
Use this engaging packet of writing activities to excite your students with a persuasive writing task before the winter/Christmas Holidays. This holiday writing activity will get students to fill out "job applications" for the North Pole, and take them through the entire process of writing a persuasive letter to the Elves. There is also a fun drawing page included where they can draw a picture of themselves as an Elf! This would make for an adorable bulletin board in December and a fun activity to bring home.
