Primary 6 are using AFOREST to support them with persuasive writing.  AFOREST includes the features used in persuasive writing.  Primary 6 looked for these features in newspapers and online articles.

A – alliteration. F- Facts. O- opinion. R-repetition. E- emotive language. S- statistics. T – three rule of adjectives.

With their knowledge of the features, p6 then created a whole class persuasive piece of writing.  This was based on ‘Are mobile phones necessary?’ They all agreed to write in favour of mobile phones.
