Friday
Today we are going to identify, discuss and collect our favourite words and phrases that are used to persuade.
Let's take a look at an example together:
Join our famous clowns, Mooky and Mr Boo, as the world celebrates 250 years of the circus! The Blackpool Tower Circus will host this 'once in a lifetime' celebration in style with a mezmerising show! Phenomenal acts, who have been performing in circuses for generations, will leave you in awe as they perform death-defying stunts that will excite and delight the whole family.
What is the purpose of using the adjective 'famous' to describe the clowns?
What would the phrase sound like without the word?
Join our clowns, Mooky and Mr Boo
Why does it mention that the world is celebrating 250 years of circus?
Now, let's look through our other examples and write a list of the words or phrases we think are there to persuade the reader.
To be able to solve word problems involving calculating change from an amount of money.
Partner work
Tony Cragg is a British-born sculptor who was known in his early career for creating colourful collages from ordinary construction materials and household objects that had been thrown away. He found these objects on the streets and in rubbish dumps in West London.
In this artwork Tony Cragg has arranged the picture in a special way to make two shapes. One shape is the artist himself.
Can you see what the other shape is? (You may have to tilt your head to the left to see properly). Can you recognise some of the materials Tony has used for his collage?
Look carefully at these pictures. How are they made? What three words would you use to describe them? Can you spot a tennis racket, a spade and boomerang? What other things can you see?
