Title:	Should schools provide breakfast for all New Zealand children?
Begin by writing your opinion.  An opinion is stating what you think about your topic.  You might like to hook your audience in even more by using a rhetorical question!	I think the government should provide breakfast for schools because children might not have an opportunity to eat before they come to school or because they might not like the food there given. Children need the nutrition in there body to stay healthy and if they did eat breakfast in the morning then they would focus properly on there work at school. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and children shouldn’t have to be going to school without any breakfast.
Begin your next paragraph stating your first reason.   Add at least two bullet points that you will use to support your reason.  You can strengthen this point by using examples or facts and statistics.	The reason why I think this is because children struggle when they don’t have any breakfast in the morning and they might be hungry. Children need to have a good start to the day and if that's going to happen then they need to have breakfast before they come to school. If they don’t have any breakfast before they come to school then they won’t be energised or focused on their school work.
Begin your next paragraph stating your second reason.   Add at least two bullet points that you will use to support your reason.  You can strengthen this point by using emotive language and groups of three.	The second reason why I think this is because parents can’t afford food for there children and there children have been going to school without any breakfast. When children get to school they can’t think properly
Begin your next paragraph stating your third reason.   Add at least two bullet points that you will use to support your reason.  You can strengthen this point repetition and exaggeration.	Lastly, I think that it is a good idea for NZ schools to have breakfast in schools because sometimes you get angry when you don’t eat and the kids won’t be focused. The children might be in a hurry and might not get to eat there breakfast so that is why the government provide breakfast in schools.
End your writing by restating your opinion.  You can strengthen this with a rhetorical question that makes your audience think!	I think that all schools should provide breakfast in schools because 15 percent of children go to school hungry. Missing breakfast makes children lazy and tired and they can’t do there work properly
