Why I Think my DI team Should do the You're Gonna Flip Challenge By: Stella Age: 9 1/2

Hi! I'm just going to give you some background on why I wrote this. It is a persuasive essay to try to convince my team to pick this challenge. Really, my DI team and I DID pick this challenge, so my mom and I thought it would be FUN for you to see what my DI team is doing for a challenge this year.

I think my DI team should do the "You're Gonna Flip Challenge." It would be the best challenge because all of the skills we're good at are incorporated into it. There are MANY benefits to this challenge but I'll just list a few.
One of the many benefits is that we would get to practice the skill we like and do best at: ACTING! In this challenge we will get to write a skit with a main character in it. The main character will have a point of view change(a FLIP!). Another benefit of doing this challenge is that we would study and build a puppet! Puppets are amazing. You can make them do lots of interesting moves and have fun while you're at it. A third benefit of doing this challenge is that we would put our talents to good use. The boys on our DI team like building; there's the puppet to build and visual art (such as origami, a picture, etc.) We girls like writing the skit.
We would easily be able to combine our skills and come up with an awesome skit, nice sidetrips (which are extra parts of the performance such as music and artwork). The challenge requires two sidetrips, puppets, and visual art.
I think there are MANY advantages to this challenge. We would get to practice what we like doing and, most of all, have FUN! This challenge DEFINITELY would be the best for my team this year!
