Persuasive devices display / anchor charts and special needs adjustments

Persuasive devices are tricky for students to remember and use in their analysing and writing persuasive texts. We have solved that problem for you and created these highly attractive charts that your students can use as a reference point in your classroom. We have used the popular acronym AFORREST as a way of helping students remember the different devices. These resources will be very useful in your primary or elementary class and with secondary or high school students.

These are easy to use. Simply print the large anchor / display charts and put them up in your classroom where they can be easily seen. You may want to laminate them if you prefer. We laminate the small card size ones and place them on a simple key ring for students. They love them!

We have also made them into small playing card size for students to have their own individual set. These cards would be a very useful adjustment for any student with a Specific Learning Difficulty such as Dyslexia, as it provides easy access and enables them to easily and independently access your task. Included as well, is a reference sheet that can easily be photocopied and used in a range of ways to support students.
