Today we read a persuasive letter linked to our class novel Holes.We explored the key features of persuasive language, focusing on:
Short, impactful sentences
Rhetorical questions
Repetition for emphasis (not always exact, but reinforcing the same idea)
We also practised reading aloud with expression, considering:
Tone and emotion – showing Stanley’s fear, frustration, and hope
Pacing – using pauses after questions and short sentences for dramatic effect
Volume – raising our voices for emphasis, softening them in moments of fear or loneliness
The children then practised and performed their persuasive readings to their classmates, using all of these techniques. They were amazing!
