Week 8: Persuasive Writing

This week some of us have been looking at persuasive writing. We watched some tv commercials and advertisement to identify some language features. What do they have in common? What makes it effective?

Here are some:

• Repeated words
• Exaggeration
• Exclamation marks 
• Paragraphs
• Emotive words 
• Connectives and Conjunctions
• Present tense
• Rhetorical Questions 
• Strong verbs
• Powerful adjectives 
• Personal pronouns
• Facts and Statistics

We then used Canva,  Paper or Screencastify to create our own ad. We had to include the language features.  Some of us tried to sell slime, squishy toys, wearing backpack in class, bracelets, ice-cream, Candyland, donuts, Doritos, paper, no Home study, self-opening tent....etc.
