Here is an AFOREST lesson that gets students to pick out the persuasive techniques they can see in an advert. It then goes onto analysing leaflets; for this I usually go and grab a handful of leaflets from the Tourist Information or a service station. Then you can use the middle part of the lesson and the work sheets to get students to identify and explain persuasive techniques used. This is a great lesson if your students are creating a leaflet or brochure for their assessment. It has always worked really well with Y7 and 8s.

A cheeky job advert template for your students. Enjoy!

Well here is a little number to help your classes with those all important language devices for creative and persuasive writing. It will also help them learn all the language techniques ready for identifying them in novels and poems. In this pack there is a full table with the Language Teachniques, definitions and examples. The other two sheets are for the students to fill in during the lesson to help them build a work bank of these language techniques. I did this with my class and then set learning them for homework. They then were tested to see if they could spot examples of techniques and their meaning. Really simple, but beneficial resource.

I created these for my Y11 in the lead up to their exams - they are great for showing students how to look at multiple meanings of keywords and how they are used as methods.

Questions planned in PPT: Starting with this extract, how are the ghosts presented as a catalyst (promote and build up to) for Scrooges transformation? Starting with this extract, how does Dickens present Scrooge’s relationship with his family? Starting with this extract, how does Dickens present the Ghost of Jacob Marley?

It then talks them through answering the question using PEE questions and PEE sentence starters.
