How the Grinch Stole Christmas Persuasive Writing Response Printable

This idea is from the forums. After reading the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss, have students write a letter to the Grinch telling him not to steal Christmas.  Four printable pages are included in the file: blank, handwriting lines, wide and narrow lines.

The 4-page PDF has the prompt “Tell the Grinch why he shouldn’t steal Christmas.” with name and date lines. The pages offer blank space, handwriting lines, wide lines, and narrow lines.
