Persuasive Writing Lesson

Persuasive writing lesson which allows students the opportunity to identify persuasive techniques in different pieces of writing. The lesson is scaffolded to support the student, firstly through looking at a small paragraph of persuasive writing to progressing to looking in great detail at Emma Watson’s UN speech on gender equality. The lesson then finishes with them having the opportunity to have a go at their own piece of persuasive writing. This task is focused around them persuading their headteacher to allow them to go on a school trip.
