Design a Fireworks/ Halloween Themed Poster: Persuasive Writing Genre

These resources support the persuasive writing genre.
The tasks involve designing a poster to advertise:

• a fireworks sale
• a cauldron shop
• a magic wand shop
  They can easily be adapted to include :
• a broomstick shop/sale
• spell shop.
  Both presentations detail the signposts of persuasion :
• ‘catchy phrases’
• ‘bold slogans’ etc.
  I have included a homework task which could be used as a warm up before a ‘Big Writing’ class session.
  The word wall activity promotes:
• independent dictionary referencing
• thesaurus work.
  The word mat supports composition for any children who need more support and helps with illustrations - a key feature of a persuasive poster.
  A very enjoyable task which engages the learners, and particularly relevant in this season.
