Students will explore how to produce a persuasive piece of writing by using evidence from a text, explaining and using persuasive vocabulary, in an environment of listening and respecting others' opinions. 

Writing is my passion and as well as majoring in English at university, I've almost 20 years’ experience in teaching English in primary schools (4-11-year-olds). Over those years I have worked regularly with groups of children specifically on English writing skills. My favourite lessons have always been when I can find out what interests and motivates a student and use those interests to engage a learner and build their confidence.
I have worked extensively with students on persuasive writing and have also worked with students on the topic of the sinking of RMS Titanic over the last 6 years when I have led fact vs opinion work, model making, drama- based lessons, persuasive writing and debates on various aspects of the tragedy (including who students feel was mostly to blame for the scale of lives lost), diary-entry style work and so on.
