Speak Your Mind

Speak Your Mind presents persuasive arguments about whether bungy jumping is a stunt or a sport and whether flat-roof buildings should be used to build skateboard parks. The book also discusses text connections, planning a persuasive argument, and features of a persuasive argument.

A variety of sentence types is used.  Illustrations support and enhance the text. Text boxes call attention to literary features, such as similes, metaphors, and exaggeration and prompt the use of comprehension strategies, such as questioning and making judgements.

The text uses persuasive language.
