We began by looking at the basic exercise on verbs that we had done for homework. Generally we had done it well. Almost all of us had used a ruler to underline the date, and written the sentences neatly with full stops and capital letters. Well done, 4H!
Next we moved on to our new unit,
persuasive writing. We looked at some video clips of TV commercials, including
this one for Evian water. All of the commercials had images and words that were easy to remember. They were trying to
persuade us to buy their products. Persuading someone means making them want to do something. The image shown above is meant to persuade us not to play games or text on our mobile phones while we are crossing the road. Do the words GAME OVER have more than one meaning? Yes. They can mean the end of the game on the mobile phone, and the end of the boy's life. Tomorrow we will look at more examples of persuasive writing and images, and we will start to make our own.
