We have been learning all
about writing to persuade.
We have been listening to
books being read and noticing what different authors do and what words the
characters are using.
We have read the pigeon books
and ‘I really like slop’ by Mo Willems, ‘I wanna iguana,’ ‘Animals should
definitely not act like people,’ 'Hey Little Ant', ‘The Great Kapok Tree’ and ‘Lazy Mary.’
We now know…
To persuade is like trying to
convince someone.
Sebastian shared his
definition, “Get someone to do
something” and
Emerson added “that you really
want.”
Don’t forget to give reasons
why - don't just say I want, I want!
“My mum says if I say I want,
I want, I want, she wont get it” Nadia told us.
“My whole family says okay,
okay, okay, when I say I want, I want, I want!”
Chean Hor shared.
Use words like…
“Please,” Nadia suggested and
Sebastian added “a lot!”
Cry? We saw it in a book.
“My little brother does this.
My mum used to give, but now
she doesn’t,” Marwin told us.
Now we are trying some of
these things out in our writing when we have writers’ workshop.
Has anyone tried to persuade
you lately?
