Year 6 have been putting their powers of persuasion to the test in English! Inspired by their class novel, 'The Templeton Twins', the children have been exploring a range of persuasive writing techniques, including rhetorical questions, emotive language, flattery and convincing arguments. Their challenge was to write a persuasive letter to Dad, explaining exactly why he should let them have a dog! They edited their rough drafts before typing up the final copy on the computer.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed coming up with some wonderfully creative and convincing reasons, from promising to take responsibility for daily walks to explaining the many benefits of having a furry friend in the family. With plenty of persuasive vocabulary and a little emotional blackmail thrown in for good measure, we are sure even the most reluctant dad would struggle to say no!
