Students need to have a handle on this if they are to
write convincing persuasive texts, which is our next port of call in literacy.
(We have also been focusing on idioms). Each table had to write about an
incident about a boy or a girl being bitten by a dog in a park, or wherever the
group decided. Four viewpoints have to be represented with the writer trying to
persuade the audience that their version is the most convincing. The viewpoints
come from:
the dog
the child,
the parent of the child
the dog owner
Most students really tried hard with this and I have
asked students to revisit and further refine their written pieces last Thursday
night for homework. Some students have
started publishing their pieces and are gaining experience inserting a relevant
image. Students can either write the top copy up by hand or publish it. They will be receiving feedback back from me regarding the grammar, content and general layout over the next two weeks. Students will be expected to set themselves goals. Some students have
chosen to hand this in by Tuesday the 12th March. The top copy will
be housed in their “Gift” portfolio.
Here are some examples of completed work by some students.
