A Two/Three Part Lesson on Writing to Persuade: Transactional Writing (Year Nine and Ten mainly)

This is a fun set of lessons I designed recently to aid those on their Language Paper 2 Examination and general transactional writing. The lessons are designed to be engaging; the students will be scaffolded to writing a persuasive writing piece. It can easily be differentiated (I personally use Bronze, Silver and Gold for my class).

Resources: I have included the Martin Luther King extract from ‘I Have A Dream’. This can easily be adapted to other speeches. Barack Obama, JFK and monologues from US Talk Shows are current but must be sensitively used.
As for the video game research, I would recommend using five or six articles around the room. Use the most up to date articles you can and therefore print off according to the date of use.

Interactive Elements: Check and adapt depending on software and model. Very easily adapted.
