Our learning this Term.

 

Literacy

This term we are talking about Persuasive Text topics. We will be learning all about the different parts of a persuasive text over the next few weeks.

 

Persuasive writing presents an argument or point of view. We like to debate at range of topics -

·       Title captures your reader’s interest Eg. Dogs are better than cats.

·       Begins with an opening statement presenting a general viewpoint.

·       Firstly, present “for” argument and reason.

·       Secondly, “for” argument and reason.

·       Finally, “for” argument and reason.

·       Then opposite point of view.

·       Conclusion summarises main argument and ends with a sentence the audience will remember.

·       Use emotive language –

o   We strongly believe

o   The tragic consequences

o   It is vital

·       Uses a variety of controlling words and conjunctions.
