PowerPoint and Worksheet exploring the use of emotive language in newspapers.<br /> <br /> The lesson begins with students discussing what they think emotive language is/where it might be used. Then a series of newspaper titles are shown where the students raise their hands whenever they hear an emotive word. This then leads in to a task where the students have to re-write news headlines so that they are as emotive as possible before analysing an emotive newspaper article.<br /> <br /> Timers are built in to the PowerPoint.

A full lesson (or two) based on creating a persuasive argument. My students absolutely loved this lesson!<br /> <br /> The theme of the lesson is Titanic. Students begin by analysing an advert for the Titanic and adding a persuasive sentence. Then, they are handed a luggage tag with a profile of an actual passenger from the Titanic. The '-' after the passenger name means that the real passenger died on the Titanic. They must write a persuasive argument in order to gain one of the last available lifeboat seats.<br /> <br /> I then got them to peer assess in pairs and groups and nominate a winner from each group. These then presented to the class who used the peer assessment grid to identify who had managed to use the most techniques.<br /> <br /> PowerPoint (including built in timers), advert, luggage tags and peer assessment grid included.
