Here is my persuasive writing to go on the Hourota Waka, by Jade.

 

Dear my fellow chiefs, 

If I got chosen to go on the Horouta Waka I would protect my iwi and strive for excellence the whole time, ( even if times get rough. )

Here are my persuasive ideas to have the honor to be aboard the waka. 

It would be a thrilling adventure to find fresh, green, luscious, untouched land and I would risk my life for the chance to find land and call it our home.  

If I were to go on the waka I would work all day every day thriving for success. 

Firstly, these are the qualities I could bring to the, I would risk my life for the chance of finding land, I would be grateful for every second on the Horouta Waka, I would be a hard working crew member and I would even appreciate the honor to guard the kuramars.

Secondly, I would be a hard working participant for at least a knot tying job on the Waka, If I get asked for a day of work at the farm the answer would be a definite yes, I would be keeping up and participating in everything that occurs. 

Lastly, I am also a great swimmer and I have won lots of medals and surf life saving competitions. That is a great quality because if someone goes overboard I could save them. 

Since you're a good chief aren't you? Well would you choose me to go on the Horouta Waka?
