Please do not write the essay for "The Smallest Dragonboy" - we were unable to finish the reading today. INSTEAD - please write to the following prompt:

"Think of an item that you need and do not own. It could be a bicycle, a new pair of shoes, or anything else that you feel you need. Write a letter to convince your parents or guardians of why you need this item."

Clearly state your position.
Include at least two points that support your position.
Explain each point, using examples and details.
Address the arguments that could made against you, and show why your side is stronger. 
Write in complete sentences.
Write well-developed paragraphs with topic sentences.
Use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization.
