This was a simple writing that I assigned to students while they were studying a unit on physical activities and injuries. This writing can be assigned in the format of a personal letter or a personal email. Either way, the writing is a recommendation, so persuasive language should be utilized.
Prompt
Write a recommendation to a friend who is considering to become more physically active:
1. Tell him/her why (advantages) it is good to do physical activities.
2. Suggest an activity (i.e., swimming, football, weightlifting) and explain why it is a
good choice.
3. Warn about the possibility of common injuries with this activity; give a tip or two to
prevent injuries.
