English Home Learning W/E
Friday 19th June 2015
This week we have learnt how to use formal, persuasive language,
rhetorical questions and connectives to write a letter to the International
Olympic Committee, in order to persuade them to select our country for the next
Olympic Games.
For home learning children should write a letter persuading their
class teacher to hold a “Golden Time” afternoon. The letter should be written
in paragraphs and contain:
1. A persuasive
statement to hook the reader – What is it and why do you want it?
2. Two or three
paragraphs giving reasons, evidence and examples
3. A concluding
paragraph going back to the original point of view.
Can you write well enough to persuade us to give you a Golden
Time afternoon?
