Persuasive text

WAL to identify persuasive techniques.  We had to figure out which technique they were using.  We had practised these techniques in the skits we created.  For example


30 Seconds has a slogan :”Spray and Walk Away”
Emotional Appeal makes you feel guilty if you don’t use the product

The technique I found easiest to remember is slogan because it is just a catchy name

Overall, it was Challenging

Whale Rider Chapter 8




WAL to identify bias in a text.  We had to highlight the words that showed Koro Apirana being biased.  He would be mean to Kahu because he wanted a boy to be the chief but Kahu was next in line and she is a girl.  

I thought this activity was
tricky to find where he was being biased.
easy because I could find the examples.

The hardest part was where it didn’t say it very clearly.


I hope we get to do something like this again.
