This week is about writing to persuade. We are going to use the context of our reading dystopian novels. I have put two choices for you for your writing.
For each one, I am looking to see you:
- develop ideas with supporting details and examples and explanations
- to use powerful vocabulary
- use the essay writing structure (introduction, SEXY main body paragraphs, conclusion)
Choices:
Hope is more powerful than despair
Do you agree or disagree? Based on your reading of dystopian novels, are there ideas to support both sides of this topic? Write to persuade your reader of your ideas.
OR
Our school cafeteria should focus on healthy food
Do you agree or disagree? Are there ideas to support both sides of this topic? Write to persuade your reader of your ideas.
We will start with brainstorming ideas, and looking at what it means to meet each level of the ideas criteria:
1. Ideas are relevant and begin to show some complexity AND Text has one elaborated idea OR Text has several ideas that have some elaboration
2. Ideas are complex and elaborated
3. Ideas show insight, originality and some authority and/or reflection on the wider world
Ideas are deliberately selected, effective and elaborated
