Could you persuade someone to buy a haunted house?! Last week in Mrs. Pratt's Shark's Den class students looked at local real estate ads to see how people use descriptive language to sell someone something. Students were then tasked to try to convince someone to buy a haunted house that was for sale. From broken windows creating a constant, "cool, Carolina breeze," to never having an electric bill due to the house lights being out, these students really came up with some creative persuasive paragraphs!
