Learning Intention:
We are learning to write a 90 second speech using the persuasive writing structure.
Success Criteria:
- We can:
- Plan a persuasive piece of writing with 3 strong ideas.
- Plan 3 body paragraphs
- Practice writing a variety of sizzling starts.
- Write an introduction.
This week we are working towards presenting a 90 second speech on a topic of your choice. We will write this in the form of a persuasive piece. Each day we will add to our writing so that next week we can complete our speeches (videos).
Free choice topic: We would like you to choose a topic that you are PASSIONATE about. Choose a topic that you have lots of ideas about. If you are unsure see some topic ideas below.
| Here are some topic ideas:
– All pets are important – Woodford should have a school canteen – Remote Learning is better than normal schooling – We should learn more Aussie rules at school. |
- Today’s activity: Writing a plan
Today you will need to choose your topic and plan your arguments. Here is a planning page for you to use. If you don’t have a printer just rule up 3 boxes on your page. Remember to have 3 clear ideas and supporting details for your ideas. Send in a photo of your plan to your teacher.
Next level writing – Paragraph 3: Can you think of what the other side of the argument might say. If you want to take your writing to the next level, paragraph 3 can be a counter argument. Think of what the other side’s arguments might be and make suggestions as to why they are wrong.
See Miss Hutchins’ planning HERE for a piece of writing on: “Should children have pets”
Practice your Counting Goal for 5-10 minutes first – to warm up the brain!
Warm Up Activity – Dice/Card War (for extra fun, play against a family member)
Flip over 2 cards at the same time, eg: Player One flips a “7” and Player Two flips a “2” so 7 x 2 = 14. The first player to say the answer, eg: “14” keeps both cards in a separate pile. The game is over when all cards have been flipped (from both players starting piles). The winner is the player who answered more questions correctly (they should have a larger pile of ‘won’ cards).
Learning Intention – We are learning to multiply fractions by multiplying the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together
Success Criteria – I can multiply fractions, by multiplying both numerators and both denominators to form an answer as a fraction
