Found the checklists extremely helpful and the FOR and AGAINST activity pages were current issues that children were able to connect with.
The checklists and photo prompts were especially helpful.
Found this pack extremely useful when teaching writing genres. Everything included from wall displays, check lists, appropriate vocabulary, examples and outlines. Made planning and teaching a whole lot easier! Kids felt more inspired and produced super writing after having used the resources which suited all abilities. Happy teacher!
Without doubt, this is probably one of my favorite resources that I have used. Why? It provides all the building blocks that is needed to help children deconstruct a persuasive text and become familiar with the key features. The resources are class and well thought out. If you actually take a good look through Teaching. Packs, you will sit back and nod your head and say 'Yes it is Christmas - this is going to make my life so much easier'.
This pack is an excellent resource for an introduction to Persuasive Writing. Our second language students had a nice portfolio of places to look to find words that they could use at a differentiated level. They had colourful handouts that encouraged the students to write to their highest level. They had useful introductory prompts to choose from. All in all it was a useful, inspiring, and inspirational few weeks of lessons worth of material. Thanks for all your efforts.
I do love all the packs, but this is especially useful for teaching step by step and creating displays. I would suggest to add more differentiation in all the tasks.
Quote from a Yr 7: "Oh, so we are not doing English (I don't like that), we are doing writing for Humanities!"
A reluctant student where English is concerned, but we trialled these last half term and the student developed eagerness to persuasive writing about a host of topics. English SPaG skills developing nicely too.
This is an excellent resource to support students as they navigate persuasive writing. The activities are engaging and relevant to students.
I love using this pack in class. Students always enjoy arguing their point before turning it into a piece of writing. The information posters also make for great wall displays and use in lesson.
I have just begun a unit on Persuasive Writing with my Grade Nines. They have not developed mastery of the genre, despite being at this late age. The contents of this pack are easily accessible for them / understood by them and - as always - you have taken the slog work out of the preparation, for which I am grateful.
Thanks ever so much.
