*Advertisers spend a lot of time and money planning advertisements to persuade people to buy their product.
* These advertisements are a type of exposition or persuasive writing - trying to persuade the reader to believe their opinion
Thursday Week 9 w - SD 480p.movWho persuaded you the most? Mr Cashin or Mrs Parker? It is important to give reasons why you have an opinion if you want to persuade people. Sometimes reasons are also called arguments.
Humour, expert knowledge and emotions are used to persuade people that their own opinion is the best.

LESSON:
Look at the Powerpoint “Plan for Success” for Persuasive writing to introduce and practise how to formulate your own persuasive writing:
Have a look at the page of opinions and play the argument (reason) game.
Have a look at the page of opinions and play the argument (reason) game.
HOW TO PLAY:
Close your eyes and point to a square. Read what the square says and give 3 reasons to explain why you agree or disagree.
Play with someone else. Can you persuade them to agree with you?
ACTIVITY:
Ask the question “Are books better than TV?” Together plot:
strong reason and evidence
lower reason and evidence
strongest reason and evidence
Your teacher will show you how to plot these reasons onto the planning graph. The upward curve shows how tension (or interest/excitement level) grows as you write.

ACTIVITY:
Books are better than TV
Get back into your groups from the last lesson. Take the reasons from the last lesson and copy them onto the oreo graphic organiser in this order:
strong reason
lower impact reason
strongest reason
NOW, come up with an explanation for each of your reasons.
For example if you said the reason that books are better is because:
"You can read them anywhere",
then your explanation would be:
"You can take them camping as they don't need electricity, or in the car as they are small, or in the park, so you can enjoy the fresh air while you read".
REVISION FOR NAPLAN:
REVISION FOR NAPLAN:
Review the structure of a narrative and persuasive piece of writing.
Students will be shown past NAPLAN samples of narrative and persuasive stimuli.
They are to be given time to plan, write and revise to be ready for NAPLAN.
Discuss and practise with the following stimulus questions:

Do you remember you watched advertisements in term one and we talked about how ads try to persuade you to buy a product that they think, in their opinion, is the best product?

Have a look at three more advertisements:
Please answer the questions about these advertisements:
Which advertisement showed humour and why?
Which advertisement showed an expert stating a fact on science and why?
Which advertisement showed emotion or feelings and why?
Answers to advertisement questions:
Louie the fly advertisement showed humour. Although he came to a nasty end, Louie was a cute cartoon character and cartoons are designed to make us laugh! This persuades us that Mortein is the best at getting rid of unwanted flies.
Mrs Marsh and the Colgate advertisement showed an expert stating a fact using science. Mrs Marsh demonstrated how rot can set into an apple and explained that it is like that with our teeth. The fluoride in Colgate can absorb into our teeth like liquid into chalk, to strengthen them against decay. This persuades us to want to use Colgate.
The Apple advertisement showed emotion. This advertisement makes people feel connected with each other while also showing the features and uses of an iPad. The music also helps us to feel emotional about connecting with those we love.

Students line up in the middle of the room.
The teacher calls out opposites – summer/winter, dogs/cats, black/white, outside/inside, soccer/cricket, hats/no hats, beach/bush, birds/fish, home-cooked food/takeaway food, books/movies.
Students move to one side of the room or the other (or stand up/sit down) according to their preference.
The teacher will ask students to give a reason for their choice, try to give
"experts say" facts
humourous examples
emotional examples - makes you feel big emotions of love, sadness, happiness, fear or anger
THIS TIME, you must also give EVIDENCE or EXAMPLES for your reason as well. For example:
(REASON) Home-cooked food is healthier for you. (EVIDENCE - expert) Nutritionists say that less salt, sugar and fat is used in home-cooking than in takeaway foods
(REASON) Dogs are playful. (EVIDENCE - humourous) My big, scary German Shepherd dog gets all excited and will play with anyone who throws her a stick!
(REASON) You can snuggle up and keep warm in winter. (EVIDENCE - emotional) Imagine sharing a cold winter's evening with family and friends in front of a warm fire, wrapped in a big soft blanket and drinking hot chocolate - now that is cosy!
If you have an opinion, you must also have a reason for what you believe - then give an example to show that reason!

"Quotations" can come from experts or people you may interview to add evidence to reasons for your opinion.

CHECKLIST PERSUASIVE WRITING YR3.docxLesson - Weeks 6 to 8
Lesson - Weeks 6 to 8
ACTIVITY:
Revise what we learnt about in regards to looking after our environment on both the Marine Discovery and Walkabout Wildlife Park excursions.
Your teacher will read this book or you can watch the video of the story “Flotsam” by David Wiesner (he also wrote "Tuesday").
Ask: Should we clean up all flotsam from the ocean?
What if you found something interesting washed up on the beach?
Look at this picture.
Write either a NARRATIVE or a PERSUASIVE text using this picture and ideas from the book "Flotsam".
Narrative MODIFIED graphic organisers - simple and regular.docxPersuasive graphic organiser final.docxFor further explanation you may want to show You Wouldn't Rubbish Your Home advertisement. Explain how this type of advertising is a great way to SHOW that polluting the earth is a bad idea. Showing rather than telling engages the emotions. This advertisement was more effective than simply:
Stating facts- “x number of people rubbish Australia”
Giving advice - “Never throw your rubbish in the pool as it will be hard to clean.
FAST FINISHERS:
Argument Game – Play in groups of 3 or 4. Put arguments in 2 columns, for or against. Then ask students: What is the topic? What is being argued? Which side do you agree with and why? Choose your favourite argument and write it as a paragraph. Option: Each person in a group chooses a different favourite argument and writes the paragraph about it supplying at least one good reason to support their argument, then the group writes the intro and conclusion to finish the exposition.
Alternative Argument Game – using grid on data projector
2 children come to the front and throw a pair of dice.
- Ask 1 child to roll dice for the vertical and horizontal axis in order to select the topic.
- Each child has to give 2 reasons in favour of or against the topic – if they take too long or give bad reasons they are out (throw the topic to the class).
- The child then rolls the dice for the other player. They continue until one person is out.
- Encourage children to think of reasonable and valid arguments.
