Welcome back readers!<\/p>\n

This week, we have been learning about persuasive writing, which started off with a debate about whether junk food should be made illegal.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We learned the acronym R.O.E.<\/p>\n

R = rhetorical questions<\/p>\n

0 = opinions<\/p>\n

E = emotive language<\/p>\n

In pairs we read an advert and we highlighted elements of R.O.E. to see if it was persuading us.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Next, in groups we had our own statements to stick on large pieces of paper. We had to come up with ideas to support these statements using R.O.E.<\/p>\n

Such as…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Schools should have 1 week off a month instead of longer holidays.<\/li>\n
  2. School books should be replaced with tablets.<\/li>\n
  3. Children should be paid to do chores.<\/li>\n
  4. Break time should be doubled in time.<\/li>\n
  5. Children should be able to vote as soon as they reach high school.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

    “I enjoyed coming up fun ideas to support my statement.” Ryan<\/p>\n

    “I agreed with my statement about break time being longer.” Olivia W<\/p>\n

    “I liked trying to persuade the class that junk food should be illegal!” Harry<\/p>\n
