media type="custom" key="12457184"Here is an example of a teaching sequence to engage students with persuasive texts and techniques. It involves not only examining the purposes of persuasive texts, but scaffolding students in identifying persuasive language techniques and describing their impact on audiences. The sequence has been developed for a Stage 3 class but offers Stage 4 and 5 teachers a model for developing a subject-specific context for explicit teaching of persuasive language and techniques. Open the notebook and notice how the sequence begins with the assessment task and then sequences the learning so that students have the necessary understanding and language resources required for a persuasive text. Use this example to plan two or three lessons on a topic you are about to teach one of your classes that will require them to compose a persuasive text. (This example developed by Paula Sindrey, QT Consultant, Illawarra and South East Region) Here is the beginning of a sequence based on the sample developed by Paula Sindrey.
