Good morning P7, welcome back, we hope you are ready to jump straight back into your learning.
Today’s Literacy Work:
We are going to continue working on persuasive writing. This will remind you what persuasive writing is.
Today you need to come up with a piece of writing which will persuade your family to give you twice as much pocket money.
You need to use clear arguments, statements of fact, rhetorical questions. If you don’t get pocket money you are trying to persuade your family that you should. Maybe you can offer to do more to earn it, maybe you do loads already so think you deserve more. Maybe you’ve just turned 12 so need more cash! Use the planner and check the resources below – they will help you if you use them.
The PowerPoint below will give you an idea of what kind of language to use in a persuasive text and the Super Sentence Starters will give you an idea of how to start your idea off. There is also a persuasive writing frame that will give you an idea of how to lay out each section of you letter.

Remember to keep up with your ‘White Fang’ reading

Continue taking notes: Who are the main characters? Where is the novel set? What are the main events of the story? This will help you write a book review at the end of the novel. This can be in your Home Learning Jotter or using a template like below (or if you find your own that’s fine too).
