persuasive writing

Today in writing we revisited o.r.e.o writing. I tried to get someone to agree with me on the same subject. What really helped me was the game. The subject was should we have animals as pets yes or no? We split up in groups on what we agreed on and we had to give reasons. The hard part was coming up with reasons on my own.  The easy part was helping to come up with some of the reasons in a group. My next step is to give examples to back up my reasons.
