This writing template supports students to write an interesting persuasive text about their favourite crayon. There are various writing templates to choose from to differentiate for all students!

How do I use this resource with my students?

After reading the 'The Day the Crayons Quit' story by Drew Daywalt, the students discussed which crayon colour is their favourite and why. Then each decorated their crayon template using predominately only their favourite crayon colour to highlight what it could be used to draw. Next, over several lessons (after modelling and practising the process of writing a persuasive text in previous lessons) the students wrote their own persuasive texts to convince their peers about which crayon colour is the best.
