This uses a cinema booking page and a TV show review. The former being aimed at L1 and the latter, L2. It guides through determining purpose & tone, via the use of sentence types and purposes - as well as revisiting persuasive features, previously explained. There are a multitude of animations which demonstrate and explain how Document 1’s purpose can be determined. After guidance, all students are encouraged to have a go at Document 2. L1 students may need support with that one and there are slides with quotations selected to get them started. Finish off with an email creati a set of relayed instructions to a friend, from Document 1 - after a bit of vocabulary replacement research.

This lovely looking ppt and handout set is best used with a bolt load of free brochures from The Brochure Bank online. Order as many as you need and they are delivered within 48 hours - free! Practise writing skills, using language features, taking notes from videos and writing persuasive and informative postcards. This leads nicely into Report writing - simply get my session or create one to follow removing the persuasive elements. This lesson is also good because some of the new C&G writing questions are mixing purposes.
