-      Literacy (20mins): Persuasive Writing PERSUASION IS ALL AROUND YOU We are starting a new writing topic on persuasion.  You might be surprised at how many people and businesses are trying to convince you to do things every day. You only have to watch commercials, read the paper, look at the ads in your magazines, or read the billboards as you’re driving home to see that persuasion is all around you. Your homework is to find a persuasive piece to bring to or share about in class. It can be an article in the newspaper, a letter to the editor, a movie or book review, a commercial, or an advertisement in a magazine or newspaper. Once you have found your persuasive piece, answer the questions below. 1. Where did you find your persuasive example? 2. Who is trying to persuade you? 3. What are they trying to persuade you to do? 4. How do they try to persuade you? 5. Do you think their argument is convincing? Why or why not?

-      Spellings (20mins) should be practised for a short time each day, using the words given in sentences.

You need to:

 • look at each word

• say the word

• copy the word in first space

• cover the words and try to write it from memory

• check to see if they are right
