In our Literacy lessons our pupil have been honing their persuasive skills. First they had to try and convince a panel of car buyers to purchase their second hand car. Then they had to try and sell some healthy snacks by writing a convincing argument.
We had to examine the car and find all the positive features. Some of them had to be exaggerated inorder to make it sound appealing... but we couldn't lie.
Mark
I chose to convince people that because the car had never broken down and had just been serviced it would be a great car to use to get to the station: cheap, reliable and not too valuable to leave in a car park.
