Learning Update
This term our children have been learning how to write persuasive text.
We began with brainstorming …
What is persuasive writing?
Persuasive writing is a type of writing that... tries to convince a reader of an opinion or belief.
Why do authors try to persuade their readers?
- so they commit to an action
- to make them want something
- to convince them to buy things
- to stop people from an action
- to change someone’s mind
How do authors persuade readers?
- offer a deal (buy one get one free)
- make a promise to do something
- trade favours
- ask pleadingly or convincingly
- advertise on TV - commercials, infomercials, YouTube, posters, flyers, signs
- show how it could be of benefit
- by engaging emotions
- creating desire
- appealing to our ego
- appealing to our mind - intellect
Our senior children have been writing speeches.
Some of our middle school children have been designing persuasive posters.
Our junior children are learning to recite a poem.
Come in and listen to our Persuasive Speech Competition on Thursday 10 September at 1.30 pm.
