Persuasive Writing in Willow

Willow class have been learning all about how to write a persuasive argument this week. More specifically, they wrote a letter to 'Sea Parcs' encouraging them to stop keeping Killer Whales in captivity.


In order to form the most effective argument, they followed a Point Explain Evidence paragraph structure. That way, their argument was supported with sufficient evidence that 'Sea Parcs' could not dispute!



The children worked hard on their sentence types, creating some great 2A sentences (2 adjectives before a noun).

For example, "It is a widely known fact that Killer whales are powerful, huge creatures..." Eriya, Willow class.



They also ensured to use alternative nouns for Killer Whales throughout their writing such as 'Orcas' and 'marine mammals'.




Can you spot any of these features in their writing?
