Term 2- week 10 Thursday
Today we are focusing on writing persuasive texts in our Authors pet rescue shelter! We have a number of different animals looking for a new home. Our authors will create persuasive texts to convince you why each pet is the right pet for you! To get things started, we will learn more about why animals are donated to an animal rescue shelter and how people can adopt them. Ask students to listen carefully for reasons that we should adopt a pet. Watch video- What Is an Animal Shelter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CIC1OXl2u0 Watch video- What Is an Animal Shelter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CIC1OXl2u0 Watch video- 10-Year-Old Has Only 10 Minutes to ADOPT A PUPPY - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzpW0Y7A8F4 TPS- Reasons we should adopt a pet from an animal shelter and record it on a chart. -Display and review the structure of a persuasive text- OREO (opinion, reasons, examples and opinion). -Explain that in the authors centre we are going to write a text to convince or persuade our audience to do adopt our pet. Today we are going to look at examples of texts and then write a persuasive text together so that you can start thinking about the ideas and language to use when you are writing to persuade! -We will need to think about good reasons why our audience should adopt our pet. We need to use facts as well as persuasive language to convince the reader that they must adopt our pet. -Ask students to listen to the story and think about the reason the dog uses to convince the homeowners to adopt him. Students should listen to the most convincing reasons as they may use them in their own persuasive writing. Watch read aloud book- CAN I BE YOUR DOG by Troy Cummings- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liGPckseaJI Students TPS- Reasons the dog used to convince the homeowners to adopt him and record it on a chart. -Display a text persuading an audience to adopt a pet. - Identify the structure of the text OREO (opinion, reasons, examples and opinion) and the persuasive language, high modality words and time connectives. -Tell student they can use what they learnt about persuasive texts to create a piece of writing that convinces someone to adopt one of the pets. -Jointly construct a text as a class and point out key features of persuasive text that they can use in their own writing: ie intro giving information about the pet (description) and arguments giving reasons why the animal would be a good pet!
