Homework due Friday, 12th January


This week we have been learning about persuasive language. We enjoyed debating some interesting topics in class! Have a look at the statements below:


WATCHING  TELEVISION  IS GOOD  FOR  CHILDREN.

WATCHING TELEVISION IS BAD FOR CHILDREN.

Which statement do you agree with? Please can you write a persuasive paragraph that will convince the reader to agree with you.

Maybe you could include:

-Persuasive sentence starters (Surely you agree that.......Everybody knows that.....)
-Rhetorical questions (How would you feel if......? Don't you think that......?)
- Conjunctions to add points to your argument (In addition, furthermore, also, another reason is....)
- Good reasons to back up your argument
