This week we have been looking at the legend of Merlin. We have also been learning about writing persuasively. Your homework for the weekend is to carry out the exercise that you can find on the following link
"Click here". Don't forget to click "forward" to move onto the second part (salutations means greetings). If you have a printer you can print the homework out after the second activity. If not just leave a comment on the post as you did last time to tell me how you found it. Please think of extremely good reasons that would persuade Mr. Phillips not to go ahead with the housing development - you could use some of the techniques that we have been looking at this week; you could use
- Rhetorical questions,
- Facts and statistics (that you could make up E.g. 80% of the parks have been demolished in the ;last 10 years)
- Exaggeration
- Emotive (emotional) language E.g. The children in the area would be overjoyed.....
- Groups of three (when you use three adjectives (describing words) together to make them stand out E.g. Lonely, bored and ignored,
Pease remember to click forward after you complete the first page.
I have tried printing the letter out, without any success so i have printed a empty sheet and will write the answers on it.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteIs there a preferred internet browser ? As Rosie spent over an hour completing her homework and only printed a the pre-formatted letter. She will write the letter instead.
We use firefox.

We've just tried to do the homework on Persuasive writing and when we printed what we thought was the completed article we did not get any of the highlighting or the comments we had typed.
ReplyDeleteWhen we selected to print the complete letter, more was printed than was shown on screen.
I didn't think this was particularly good after the time that was spent on the activity.
I had a job to think of the first reason but then I found it much easier.Josh
