Passage 1
(2022-2023学年·广东珠海·高一统考期末)Sleigh Ride is a cute, blue-gray pitbull dog, and she’d been hanging around Richmond Animal Care and Control’s shelter for quite a while. But a letter from a second-grader—written on the dog’s behalf—may have been the ticket home.
“Do you want to adopt (收养) me?” the letter read. “You can play with me! I promise that I will be a good dog. You can even sleep with me if you want!” “Within about 10 days of posting the letter alongside the shelter, someone adopted Sleigh Ride,” said Mr. Peters, director of Richmond Animal Care and Control.
The letter came from a student in Ms. Jones’ writing class. It was part of a persuasive writing task that asked students to write letters in the voice of one of 24 animals—23 dogs and one cat—at the shelter. In each letter, the young writers persuaded readers to adopt a pet, from the point of view of the animal.
So far, the students’ work has been effective. After posting the letters outside the shelter, only four dogs remain: Pebble, Yosemite, Kotey and Tumble. “It was just a magical marketing tool to help people find those pets and fall in love with them with the stories that the kids wrote, and then take that pet home with them,” Peters said. The students have been enthusiastic throughout the process. It probably helps that Peters brought in Snow, a white pitbull, for a visit with the students. The kids were “so excited and happy and jumping out of their skin” when they met the well-mannered little dog, Peters said.
Though the writing took place in early February, students still ask about the animals they wrote about. “Has Tumble been adopted?” Jones recalls one student asking before the day’s lesson had even started. Jones says she’s watched her students develop an eagerness to write, even beyond this project.
