Y6 English
This week in English we will be working towards creating our own persuasive brochure for the ‘Yorkshire Wildlife Park’. On Monday we will look at modal verbs and how we can incorporate them within our own persuasive writing. On Tuesday we will recap how to use and manipulate the active and passive voice. Following this we will then begin to plan our persuasive text, using all of the techniques and skills learnt so far. We will plan, write and edit using the same process we followed for our non-chronological report writing. Please see the file named ‘Writing examples’ before starting lesson 3. This will give you a good idea of how we would like you to set your persuasive text out. Understand that your persuasive text and previous non-chronological text are different genres however we would love to see the same level of wonderful quality produced before Christmas

Tuesday 12.01.21
LO: To present information using the active and passive voice
- Work your way through the numbered sentences.
- Read each of the sentences and decide whether they are active or passive, write (A) for active or (P) for passive next to them.
- After deciding which sentences are which can you change the active sentences to passive and passive sentences to active?
- Challenge: Can you generate active and passive sentences about Yorkshire Wildlife Park? – which is most effective? Why?

Wednesday 13.01.21
LO: To plan a persuasive text
- Work your way through the sentence question starters.
- Stick both sheets of the plan on a double page spread.
- Begin to think of a clear title, perhaps with an idiom or a catchy title.
- Create an opening, what will be the three main selling points of the YWP? These will be repeated throughout the text to ensure the reader remembers them.
- Begin thinking and writing what points you plan to make.
- Create a conclusion to round off your persuasive piece of text. Ensure you repeat the different points and cohesively link them in throughout the writing.
See attached planning structure
Thursday 14.01.21
LO: To write a persuasive text (1st Draft)
- The aim for your writing today is to try and make the notes you have made in your planning join together through cohesion.
- Read the example provided for you, try to use this as a model when using the notes you have made in your plan and convert them into your writing.
- I would suggest writing your first draft on a separate lined piece of paper so that you can write and look at your plan at the same time. Then this can be stuck in when you have written it and there when you begin writing your final draft.
- Challenge: Can you create different paragraphs that have a different sense of audience – paragraphs for parents/children/all
Friday 08.01.21
LO: To edit a persuasive text (Final Draft)
- When you work through your persuasive writing please make sure that you try and follow the success criteria and include language techniques at every opportunity.
- We are looking to see sketches, pictures, fab handwriting, colouring and a beautifully presented double page spread!
We can’t wait to see your imagination and creativeness shown throughout these persuasive pieces of writing! Good luck
