Adora Svitak - What adults can learn from kids

So what does Adora say that adults can learn from kids?  Do you agree with her? Why?

How does she attempt to persuade her audience?

What does she do well in her speech?

Would the world be a better place if children ruled the world?  What would you do?

I wanna Iguana - a great example of persuasion

How does Alex persuade his Mom he should get an iguana?

Give an example of the persuasive devices Alex uses and explain how this is effective.

This book was written for younger children, is it still relevant to children your age? Why?

Can you remember a time when you successfully persuaded your parents to let you do something you wanted to do?

How else could Alex have persuaded his mom? Can you think of anymore arguments for getting an iguana?
