SUGGESTED USE:

With the slideshow, elicit responses from students prior to playing out the animations on each slide. For example, for slide 1, ask the question, what is Persuasive Writing – prior to revealing the slide content on the same. Refer to the guided notes as you present. This gives the opportunity for students to think constructively prior to recording the words that fill in the blanks. Students will also be more engaged whilst recording.
